Preheating your oven is a crucial first step for any baking recipe, particularly for the Heavenly Sweet Honey Apple Oat Bake. Setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensures that your dish bakes evenly, allowing the oats to absorb moisture and the apples to soften beautifully. A properly preheated oven helps to activate the baking powder and creates that desirable rise and texture in your bake.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 large apples, cored and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work beautifully)

1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, chopped nuts, and raisins/dried cranberries if using. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Add the Apples: Fold the diced apples into the wet mixture, making sure they’re well-coated.

            Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly combined. If you're adding chia seeds, fold them in at this stage.

              Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. You can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for added flavor.

                Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oats are set.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with a bit more honey if desired, and enjoy!

                    Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack!
