Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 200g rolled oats
- 2 medium apples, diced (plus 1 apple, thinly sliced, for topping)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 400ml milk (dairy or oat milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 40g chopped walnuts (for topping)
Instructions
Heat the oven to 190°C and lightly grease a baking dish.
Combine the rolled oats, diced apples, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a jug or small bowl.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and stir until the oats are evenly moistened, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into the baking dish and top with the sliced apple and chopped walnuts.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden on top and set in the middle, then cool for 5 minutes before serving.
This is the breakfast I make when the morning deserves to slow down a little. Diced apples soften into sweet, cinnamon-spiced oats, the top turns golden in the oven, and the whole kitchen smells like apple pie without the sugar crash. It comes together in one dish, slices cleanly, and keeps well for busy weekday mornings. Around 285 calories a serving, with fiber and protein that actually hold you until lunch.
