Summary

Celebrate the autumn season with a naturally sweet and perfectly spiced Apple Walnut Bake. Juicy apples, cinnamon, ginger and walnuts are the perfect combination of warm, sweet, and nutty flavors to add to fiber-rich oatmeal. Once baked the oats take on a gooey and chewy texture that is simply delightful with the tender apple bits and nutty walnuts. What’s more, this warm bake is heavily straight out of the oven, and tastes even better as leftovers for breakfast the next day!

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Instead of a chia egg, use a flax egg (one tablespoon of flax meal to three tablespoons of water).

In place of almond meal, use oat flour.

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of coconut sugar. You may need to reduce the amount of plant-based milk by ¼ cup.

Storage
Place leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
