Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8" x 8" oven-safe dish. If desired, prepare a parchment sling by cutting out a piece of parchment paper slightly larger than the pan and placing it inside.
In a large bowl add eggs and whisk to combine. Then almond milk, maple syrup, apple sauce, oil, and vanilla and whisk to fully combine.

To the wet ingredients add oats, baking powder, chia, cinnamon, salt and grated apples and mix until fully combined.

Pour into prepared 8"x 8" dish and bake for 40 minutes, until the center is just barely firm.
Scoop and serve warm as is or with almond milk, or cool and slice into 9 square portions.

Recipe Notes:
We topped the oatmeal bake with a few pieces of diced apple. Reserve a small piece of the apple before grating if desired to top the oatmeal bake with.
