This delicious oatmeal treat is full of healthy fruits and veggies, which makes it a great choice for a healthy breakfast or lunch. It’s naturally sweet and doesn’t have any flour or artificial sugar in it. How to make it:
ingredients
- Two cups of rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- Peel, core, and grate two medium apples.
- Peel and grate two medium-sized carrots.
- 1 mashed, ripe banana
- 1/2 cup apple sauce that isn’t sweet
- 1/2 cup chopped dates or raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1/4 cup flax or chia seeds
- Half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- Half a teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- Half a teaspoon of ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 big eggs (or flax eggs if you’re veggie)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any other milk you like) that isn’t sweet
How to Do It:
Step 1: Heat the oven and get the baking dish ready.
Warm Up the Oven: Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Get the baking dish ready: A 9×13-inch baking dish should be greased or lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients.
Mix the dry ingredients together. Put the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chia seeds or flaxseeds, and salt in a big bowl. Mix well by stirring.
Prepare the wet ingredients in the third step.
Peel and grate the apples and carrots. You can squeeze out some of the extra water from the apples if they are very juicy.
Mash Banana: Mash the ripe banana until it’s smooth in a different bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Grate the apples and carrots, mash the banana, add applesauce, raisins or dates, chopped nuts, vanilla extract, eggs (or flax eggs), and mix them in with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together well.
Pour the almond milk in and stir it in until it’s well mixed.
Step 4: Put the oatmeal treat in the oven.
Moving the Mixture to the Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the baking dish that has been prepared and spread it out evenly.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sides are golden brown and the middle is set. If you stick a toothpick in the middle, it should come out clean.
Step 5: Let it cool down and serve.
To cool, leave the oatmeal treat in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then cut it into pieces.
Serve: You can serve it hot or cold. It tastes great on its own or with a little yogurt or nut butter on top.
How to Make the Best Sugar-Free and Flourless Oatmeal:
How Sweet Fruit Is: The bananas, apples, raisins, or dates should be sweet enough on their own, but you can add a few tablespoons of pure maple syrup or honey (if it’s not sugar-free) if you’d like it a little sweeter.
For a vegan version of this recipe, use flax eggs instead of eggs. To make flax eggs, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Keeping: Put leftovers in a jar that won’t let air in and put it in the fridge for up to 5 days. This tasty oatmeal treat freezes well for up to two months.
Serving Ideas: You can eat this delicious oatmeal by itself or with a splash of milk. You can also add fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter on top.
This oatmeal is a healthy treat that doesn’t have any added sugar or flour. It’s full of apples, carrots, and other healthy foods.
