Recipe: Baked Steel Cut Oats – Apple Carrot Cinnamon

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1 shredded apple (1 cup)
• 1 shredded carrot (1/2-2/3 cup)
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 1 cup non-dairy milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla powder)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl
3. Add to baking dish (we have made this recipe using either an 8” x 11” or a square 8” x 8” dish)
4. Bake for 45-50 minutes (see notes)
5. Allow to cool slightly before serving
6. Add additional toppings if desired – more shredded carrot, shredded zucchini, your favourite fruit, nuts, or raisins.

Notes

• The steel cut oats will be oatmeal style – they will not solidify.
• The longer the bake time, the drier the finished product will be. When using the 8 x 11” baking dish, we allow it to cook for 45 minutes, and tend to leave the oats in the oven longer when using the smaller 8 x 8″ square pan.
