  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200 g) old fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups (365 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • ⅓ cup (78.86 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs (can substitute with flax eggs)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral oil, plus extra for greasing
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Produce

  • 10 ounces apples, diced small (about 2 medium apples, Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended, peeled if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, avocado oil, and maple syrup or honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
  5. Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. An internal temperature of 200℉ (93℃) signals it is cooked through without overbaking.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, a splash of milk, or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
  7. Storage: Once completely cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
