Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup milk of choice
⅓ cup maple syrup
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium apple , diced (core/seeds removed)
¼ cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Press a piece of parchment paper into the bottom of the pan if you'd like to guarantee easy removal later.
In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Then add in the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Fold in the chopped apple and raisins, if using them. (Or add in any extras you like at this point, such as chopped walnuts or almonds.) Pour the oat mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake at 375ºF for 40 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden and the center feels firm to the touch.
Let the baked oatmeal cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing it into 9 squares. Serve warm with any toppings you love. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 9 slices made with cow's milk and the optional raisins. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.

Gluten-Free Note: Oats are naturally gluten-free but can be contaminated during processing. Look for a "certified gluten-free" label on the package if you need a gluten-free recipe.

Vegan Note: If you need an egg-free recipe, you can swap the eggs for 2 flax eggs instead. This will make the baked oatmeal slightly more fragile to slice into, so just keep that in mind. Use coconut oil and a non-dairy milk to keep this vegan.
