01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 ½ cups almond milk 1 cup applesauce 1 apple, diced ½ cup raisins ½ cup pecans ½ cup flax seed meal 2 eggs ¼ cup brown sugar 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to keep the oatmeal from sticking. In a large bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, chopped apple, raisins, pecans, flax meal, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give everything a good stir, then mix in the oats until it’s all well combined. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes so the oats can soak up some of the liquid. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup evenly. Pop the tin in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the tops turn a nice golden brown. Once they’re done, let the oatmeal muffins sit in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use rolled oats for a creamy texture; steel-cut oats may not soften enough.
- Press the mixture firmly into the baking dish to help it hold together when sliced.
- Let it cool slightly before serving so it sets well and is easier to cut.
