Oatmeal & Apple Breakfast Bake – No Flour, No Sugar

A wholesome, naturally sweetened breakfast bake made with oats and apples — no flour, no added sugar. Perfect for meal prep or a cozy weekend morning.

Equipment

• baking dish (about 9×9 in / 23×23 cm)
• large bowl

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats (use certified GF if needed)
• 2 large apples, grated (or 1 grated + 1 diced)
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed (natural sweetness)
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional add-ins: raisins, chopped nuts, chia seeds, coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish (about 9×9 in / 23×23 cm).
2. Mix wet: In a large bowl, mash bananas, then whisk in eggs, milk, and vanilla.
3. Add dry: Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Fold in: Add grated apples (and any optional add-ins). Mix well.
5. Rest: Let sit 5–10 min so oats absorb liquid.
6. Bake: Pour into dish, smooth top. Bake 35–40 min until set and golden.
7. Cool: Let rest 10 min before slicing.

Notes

Serving ideas: Top with yogurt, nut butter, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey if you don’t mind a little sweetness. Tips: The bananas are key for sweetness — the riper, the better. Diced apple chunks give texture; grated apple gives moisture. Store in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat gently.
