Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Bake (No Flour, No Sugar)
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
-
1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats or quick oats)
-
2 medium apples (peeled or unpeeled, grated or finely chopped)
-
2 large eggs
-
150 g plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended)
-
A handful of walnuts or raisins (optional, for extra crunch/sweetness)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Apples
-
Wash and core the apples.
-
Grate them (for a moist, cake-like texture) or finely chop them (for little apple chunks).
2. Make the Batter
-
In a bowl, combine the oats, grated apples, yogurt, eggs, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using).
-
Mix until well combined. The batter will be slightly thick.
3. Bake
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.
-
Pour the batter in and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
4. Serve
-
Let cool slightly before slicing.
-
Enjoy warm or cold, plain or with a dollop of yogurt on top.
🌟 Tips & Variations
-
Extra flavor → Add vanilla extract, nutmeg, or ginger.
-
Sweeter (naturally) → Mix in 1 mashed banana or a few chopped dates.
-
Crunchy topping → Sprinkle oats and a little cinnamon on top before baking.
-
On-the-go option → Bake in muffin tins instead of a loaf pan for grab-and-go breakfast bites.
