Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats, GF certified, if needed
  • 2 apples, any sweet variety, cored and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (3.5 oz) See Notes re: frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • ⅓ cup unsalted almond butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar Or sub light brown sugar or additional maple syrup, to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot or corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup chopped raw walnuts or pecans (2 oz.)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If baking now, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
  2. In a medium-size bowl or in a blender combine the milk, almond butter, maple syrup, sugar, starch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Whisk or blend until smooth.
  3. Add the oats to a 9-inch square baking pan. Arrange the chopped apple in an even layer on top of the oats, followed by the cranberries. Pour the wet ingredients on top.
  4. If baking now, sprinkle nuts on top and transfer to oven. If assembling in the evening and baking in the morning, don't add walnuts yet. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
  5. In the morning, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C), and sprinkle nuts on top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly and hot. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If using frozen cranberries: No need to thaw if assembling at night and baking in the morning (they'll thaw overnight). But if you plan to bake the oatmeal immediately after assembling, thaw the cranberries before adding to the dish.
  • Store leftover baked oatmeal in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven, or microwave individual servings.
