Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Fruit

  • 2 large apples, peeled and chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
  3. Add Apples: Toss the peeled and chopped apples into the dry mixture, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated with the oat and spice mix.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey or maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or vegetable oil until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined, forming a thick batter.
  6. Add Nuts (Optional): Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans if using, evenly distributing them throughout the batter for added crunch.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious and healthy breakfast option.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, oat, or any preferred plant-based milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or pecans.
  • Ensure apples are peeled and chopped finely to distribute moisture and flavor evenly.
  • Use honey for a slightly richer flavor, or maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
