Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons brown or coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 3/4 cups almond or other non-dairy milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 apples, cored and chopped
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions:

• Generously butter a 9 × 9 ceramic or glass baking or 2-quart casserole dish. Preheat an oven to 375°F.

• In a large bowl, combine the oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. In another bowl, whisk together the almond or other non-dairy milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the oats and stir well to combine. Fold in the chopped apples.

• Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Scatter the slivered almonds over the top if using and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and the sides are bubbling.

• Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes to cool and set.

• Serve warm with cream, fresh blueberries, or by itself.
