Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) fan on. Prepare a cake pan or baking dish (12 x 10 inches - 30 x 25 cm) lining it with baking paper.

Step 2

Make the flaxseed “egg”: In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and warm water to create a flax egg. Let it set for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Make the spiced milk: In a blender, add the pitted dates, silken tofu, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Blend until smooth. See notes for no blender option.

Step 4

Assemble: Add the oats, apples, flaxseed "egg", pecans, walnuts, and spiced milk to the prepared cake pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bake: Bake on the middle rack for 45 minutes, rotating halfway through for even baking.

Step 6

Cool and slice: Let it cool slightly before slicing. The baked oats will be a bit crumbly while warm, so for clean slices, wait until they’ve completely cooled.

Step 7

Topping ideas: Almond or cashew butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, yogurt, or stewed apples make great toppings. To increase the protein of a slice to 20 g, mix 1/4 cup of high-protein yogurt (such as soy) with 1 tbsp of vanilla protein powder until smooth for a delicious high-protein icing.
