Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (180g) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk

  • 2 medium (300g) apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Stir in the milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined. Note: Over mixing can make the base too dense.
  4. In a separate small bowl, toss the diced apples with melted butter and the remaining cinnamon.
  5. Fold the cinnamon coated apples into the oat mixture.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges pull away from the sides and the top is light golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
