 Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup diced apple, divided
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray. 

In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla. 

Fold in raisins and 3/4 cup of the diced apples. 

Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1/4 cup of diced apples. 

Bake about 40 minutes or until the center has set and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow baked oatmeal to cool just a bit before serving. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup. 

Enjoy!
