Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Add-ins

  • 2 medium crisp apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a splash of plant-based butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote browning.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon (natural), baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients, forming the base of the baked oatmeal.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold the chopped crisp apples and optional chopped nuts into the oatmeal mixture to evenly disperse them throughout.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but still moist. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Gala for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix wet and dry ingredients to keep the oatmeal tender.
  • Check baking time starting at 30 minutes, as oven temperatures vary, to avoid drying out.
  • Toast nuts or seeds separately and sprinkle on top just before serving for extra crunch.
  • Bring wet ingredients to room temperature before mixing for more even baking.
