Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups instant oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar ((or 2 tablespoons maple syrup; optional))
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseeds
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons butter ((melted and cooled slightly))
  • 1 cup finely diced apple ((skin on or off, according to your preference; I leave it on))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. (I like to line the pan with parchment paper so I can lift the baked oatmeal out and slice it, but you can also just slice it in the pan.)
  • Stir all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Place pan onto a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting.
