Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar not packed - measure loosely
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed meal
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon I use 2-3 tsp because we love cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg I use 1 tsp because we love nutmeg
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups milk Rice milk can be substituted
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (thawed) may be used
  • 12 oz peaches, chopped fresh or frozen (thawed) may be used
  • 1 medium apple, chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease/spray a 9x13 pan.
  2. Mix together dry ingredients (oats, brown sugar, flax meal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg) in a large bowl.
  3. Mix together the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, butter, applesauce) in a smaller bowl.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Combine until the entire mixture is wet.
  5. Add the chopped apples and peaches to the mixture. Once combined, gently add the blueberries.
  6. Place mixture into your greased 9x13 dish. Bake for 30 minutes and then turn 180 degrees for even baking.
  7. Bake another 15-30 minutes, until the top and edges turn brown, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out almost clean.

Notes

  • We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.
  • If you desire to make this dish dairy-free, substitute an additional 1/2 cup applesauce for the 1/2 cup melted butter
  • I use a food processor to make the work of chopping the apple and peaches much faster and easier - simply pulse a couple of times
  • If using frozen and thawed blueberries, there will be quite a bit of juice.  This recipe works with and without that extra blueberry juice.  If you use the juice, be aware that the oatmeal bake will have a blue tint to it.
