Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F/190C. In a rectangular 8×11-inch baking dish, add the oats, 1/2 cup of the walnuts, ground chia seeds, hemp hearts, baking powder, fine sea salt and cinnamon.
In a small bowl combine the wet ingredients: grated apple, apple sauce, almond milk, maple syrup, avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the baking dish and mix together.
Decorate the top with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts, optional to also decorate with sliced apple (if leftover after grating 1 cups worth). Bake until the edges are lightly brown and the mixture is set, 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into slices and serving, or allow to cool completely.

Notes

This recipe will keep for up to 5 days. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Alternatively, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Be sure that the baked apple oatmeal has cooled completely before storing. To re-heat, pop in the microwave in 30 second increments for 1 to 2 minutes. This recipe is also delicious cold.

This recipe can be frozen. Let the bake cool completely, cut and store the individual pieces in air-tight containers.

To reheat from frozen: microwave at 30 second intervals for 1 to 2 minutes. You can also freeze the entire bake (uncut) to re-heat for later. Cover the top in tinfoil and reheat at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes.
