Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats (45 grams)
  • ¼ cup applesauce (65 grams) (sweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (5 grams) (or agave nectar)
  • 4 Tablespoons plant-based milk (52 ml) (soy or any plant-based milk)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds (6 grams) + 3 Tablespoons water (45 grams) to make flax egg (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder (1 gram)

Variation 1: Apple Raisin Walnut

  • 2 Tablespoons cubed apple (15 grams)
  • 1 Tablespoon raisins (9 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts (14 grams)

Variation 2: Cocoa Peanut Butter

  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (3 grams)
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter (15 grams) (or alternate nut butter)
  • 1 Tablespoon jelly/jam (20 grams)

Variation 3: Mixed Berry Matcha

  • ¼ cup mixed berries (36 grams) (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (3 grams)

Variation 4: Dark Chocolate

  • 1 Tablespoon chopped dark chocolate (11 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is prepared.
  2. Prepare Flax Egg (Optional): In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, forming a flax egg as a vegan egg substitute.
  3. Mix Base Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, applesauce, maple syrup, plant-based milk, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and the prepared flax egg if using. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth batter.
  4. Add Variation Ingredients: Choose one of the five variations and gently fold in the specific ingredients: apple cubes, raisins, walnuts for Apple Raisin Walnut; cocoa powder, peanut butter, and jelly for Cocoa Peanut Butter; mixed berries and matcha powder for Mixed Berry Matcha; or chopped dark chocolate for Dark Chocolate variation.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into a small greased or lined baking dish or ramekin to ensure easy removal after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the baked oats are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
