Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal (90g)
- 150 ml warm milk (about ⅔ cup)
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 20g butter (1 ½ tablespoons), melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanillin (or vanilla extract)
- 2 large eggs
- 50g chopped nuts (about ⅓ cup; walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- Avocado oil (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions/Directions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease a baking dish with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the oatmeal and warm milk. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften the oats.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanillin (or vanilla extract). Stir in the diced apples and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Combine: Add the egg mixture to the softened oatmeal and mix everything until well combined.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast.
Serving Suggestions:
- Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Pair with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
Cooking Tips:
- Nuts: Feel free to use any type of nuts you prefer, such as pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts, for added crunch and flavor.
- Add-ins: Consider adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for more texture and sweetness.
- Milk Substitute: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk if you prefer a dairy-free version.
