Spiced Apple Oatmeal Bake Recipe

Spiced Apple Oatmeal Bake Recipe Ingredients • 2 cups rolled oats • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk • 2 medium apples, diced (leave the skin on for extra fiber) • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves • 1 teaspoon amla powder (optional, for an antioxidant boost) • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free, if possible) • 1/4 cup unsweetened raisins (optional, for natural sweetness) Instructions 1. Preheat Oven • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with water or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 2. Mix the Dry Ingredients • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, amla powder, and baking powder. Stir to distribute the spices evenly. 3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients • In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract. 4. Combine • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir well. Add the diced apples and raisins (if using) and mix until evenly combined. 5. Bake • Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set. 6. Cool and Serve • Let the bake cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
