Ingredients for making Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal:

The base of the baked oatmeal is old-fashioned oats to which we add some chia seeds, pecans and coconut for crunch and texture.
We also mix in some baking powder for the perfect cakey texture.
Apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice up the cozy. You can use store-bought or make your own apple pie spice by mixing 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon with ¾ teaspoons of nutmeg, ½ teaspoon of allspice, and ¼ teaspoon of cardamom.
Salt is an important ingredient for all oatmeal bakes and porridges. Don’t skip it!
Maple syrup adds some nutty sweetness to the oatmeal bake
Instead of eggs, we add some applesauce as a binding agent. Mashed/pureed fruit helps to give this baked oatmeal a muffin-like texture and some moisture. You can either use store-bought unsweetened apple sauce or make your own applesauce by pureeing cooked or canned apples.
Before baking, we soak the oats in some non-dairy milk – use coconut, almond or oat milk.
For the apple pie layer, we toss some apple chunks with cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. I also add in some more nuts.

Tips & Substitutions:

You can use sub the oats for other grain flakes such as quinoa flakes or rice flakes.
To double the recipe you can double everything, if it seems like there’s too much liquid just add a few more Tbsp of oats and bake in a slightly larger pan for up to 45 mins or until the apples are done to preference.
For this vegan baked oatmeal, use stoneware or a ceramic baking dish so that the edges don’t get brown and chewy.
You can add some raisins, chopped dates or cranberries to the oatmeal bake if you’re a fan.
