Ingredients

½ cup applesauce *unsweetened
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 & ¾ cups almond milk *or milk of choice *unsweetened
2 tablespoons salted butter *melted & slightly cooled
¼ cup honey
2 & ½ cups whole grain oats *see note below
1 medium apple *diced *see note below
¼ cup chopped walnuts *optional

Recipe notes:

Whole grain oats: you can substitute quick oats but the final product may not be quite as moist.

Apple: a crisp, tart variety works best. I normally purchase pink lady apples for this recipe.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly coat an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine applesauce, eggs, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla extract and baking powder. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
Add milk, melted butter & honey. Whisk again.
Stir in your whole grain oats and diced apple. Pour batter into your baking dish and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top (optional).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden.
Allow baked oatmeal to cool, cut into squares and serve! If desired, drizzle honey, agave or maple syrup on your oatmeal for a sweeter treat.

Storage:

Place oatmeal squares in an airtight food storage container or Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat:

To reheat your oatmeal squares, simply microwave for 30-90 seconds!
