Table of Contents

Ingredients:

Base:

    • 220g rolled oats (approximately 2 cups)

Wet Ingredients:

    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 1 mashed banana
  • Vanillin (to taste) – substitute with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if preferred

Fruit and Nut Additions:

    • 2 large apples, sliced
    • Lemon juice (to prevent browning)
    • 80g dried cranberries
    • 80g sliced almonds

Other:

  • Olive oil (for greasing the baking mold)

Directions:

    1. Preheat the Oven:
        • Preheat your oven to 180°C (380°F) to ensure the oatmeal bakes evenly.

       

    2. Prepare the Baking Mold:
      • Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. This will make it easier to remove the baked oatmeal once it’s cooked.
    1. Prepare the Apples:
      • Slice the apples into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces.
      • Drizzle them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
    1. Mix Wet Ingredients:
      • In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and vanillin (or vanilla extract).
      • Mash the banana and add it to the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
    1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
      • Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds to the wet ingredients.
      • Stir everything together until well combined.
    1. Add Apples and Bake:
      • Gently fold in the sliced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal mixture.
      • Pour the complete mixture into the greased baking dish.
  1. Bake:
    • Bake the oatmeal in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Serve:
      • Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving.

     

    • Enjoy it warm on its own, or with your favorite toppings like a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
