What you will need to make the apple baked oats
Baked Oats Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- dash of salt
- 1/2 cup dairy free milk
- 1/2 cup grated apple
- 2.5 tbsp chopped pecans
Topping Ingredients
- 1/2 apple
- 1 tbsp chopped pecans
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- dash of vanilla
- dash of cinnamon

How to make the oats
- To create the oats, add the oats, baking powder, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and milk to a blender. Blend all of the ingredients.
- Grate your apple and measure out 1/2 cup. Fold it into the blended oats. Also add the chopped pecans. Do not blend the apple and pecans!
- Transfer the batter into an oven safe ramekin and make the oats for about 30 minutes at 400F/200C. You can bake for more if you want the inside to have more of a cake texture, or less if you prefer your baked oats to be gooey.
- While the oats are baking, chop 1/2 apple into small cubes. Add it to a pan over medium heat along with the chopped pecans, oil, maple, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Cook the apple and pecans for 5-7 minutes, stirring throughout so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Once the oats are ready, top them with the caramelized apple topping and dig in!
