Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not instant!)
- 1 cup cashew milk (or milk of choice!)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 ounces apple sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste (or extract)
- 1/2 cup or more berries of choice
- 1 handful of pecan pieces (other nuts, or skip!)
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients but berries and nuts. (no specific order required, but generally I like to mix the wet ingredients first and add them into the dry!)
Step 3
Fold in berries (I used raspberries and blackberries...) but you could use anything you like! Peaches, apples, blueberries. I thought peanut butter and chocolate chips would be amazing next time!
Step 4
Coat the inside of a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (I used a square baking dish) if you use a different size, the "bars" will end up thinner, so adjust baking time as needed! You'll want the finished product to be *just set* in the center, golden brown along the tops and edges.
Step 5
Pour oatmeal mixture into baking dish, tent with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil at the last 5 to allow golden brown color to form.
Step 6
**oven times and texture preference vary, check for done-ness by cutting into bars (i pre-cut the size that I wanted them to be and returned to the oven for a few minutes for added stability!)
Step 7
Allow to cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. Keep in the fridge for up to a week, and in the freezer for 6+ months. Re-heat as desired (microwave 30 seconds)
Step 8
Drizzle with honey, or syrup, pair with fruit or yogurt, or just eat them on their own! A perfect breakfast on the go. Or at home when you just don't feel like cooking :)
