Equipment

rectangular baking dish 26cm or 1.5 QT or 11 inches x 7 inches baking dish size

Ingredients

360 ml milk of choice I used low fat dairy
113 g applesauce 4oz
2 eggs
60 ml ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
120 g 1 cup oat flour
180 g 2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 apples diced into small pieces or finely sliced - I used pink ladies
1 extra apple sliced - for decoration optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 26cm (11x7 inch) rectangular baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
360 ml milk of choice, 113 g applesauce, 2 eggs, 60 ml ¼ cup honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir in the oat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated.
120 g 1 cup oat flour, 180 g 2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Gently fold in the diced apples and any optional mix-ins like walnuts or raisins.
2 apples
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange apple slices on top if using. You could also add a sprinkle of brown sugar over the top. This will carmelise when baked for a lovely golden top.
1 extra apple sliced - for decoration
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with recommended toppings.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in portions.

Nutrition Information: I’ve included an estimated nutrition breakdown for this recipe below. Remember, though, that a recipe is much more than its nutritional content, and these numbers shouldn't solely dictate your food choices.

I recommend serving these with a generous dollop of greek yogurt. For example 100g of 2% Fage will give you 70 calories and an additional 10g of protein.
