Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp + 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 medium baking apple peeled and shredded (Honey Crisp or Fuji)
  • 2 shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
Optional Toppings:
  • Maple syrup Greek yogurt, cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Prep the oven and pan: Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine dry and wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix oats, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, shredded apple, carrots, raisins, pecans, and coconut. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir until evenly combined.
  3. Bake: Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes (mine was perfect at 40 min), or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. Serve warm, optionally topping with Greek yogurt.

Notes

  • Sub 2 Tbsp flax seeds + 1/3 cup warm water for eggs, and use plant-based Greek yogurt for vegan
  • Add 1 oz vanilla Greek yogurt on top for ~17 g protein per serving
  • To make this one-bowl, just mix all ingredients in a single bowl, taking care to whisk away any clumps of yogurt!
