SWEET APPLE WALNUT OATMEAL

This dish has a unique texture—somewhere between oatmeal and a cake! It’s a little gooey (in the best way) inside hot out of the oven. If you let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes after baking, it will cook through a bit more. So plan accordingly depending on whether you like it ooey-gooey or more fully baked!

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line four 4-inch ramekins with pieces of parchment paper or lightly spray or coat them with oil. Alternatively, you could use silicone muffin pans or muffin pans with paper liners.

Step 2

Add the chia seeds and 6 tablespoons of water to a small bowl, stir, and set aside. This mixture acts as a binder in place of eggs.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the milk, apple cider vinegar, banana, applesauce, and vanilla.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond meal, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and optional salt.

Step 5

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, but don’t overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chia egg followed by the apples and walnuts.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter into the ramekins and bake for 30 minutes (or 25 minutes if using muffin pans).

Step 8

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
