Scale
- 2 tablespoons (12 grams) ground flax seed (+ 4 tablespoons water)
- 2 cups (180 grams) old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups (320 ml)dairy-free milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 35o F (180 C).
- In a small bowl make the flax egg by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed with 4 tablespoons of water. Let it sit and gel for 10 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Then mix the flax egg, dairy-free milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla into the oat mixture.
- Fold in the frozen berries and walnuts (or pecans).
- Pour the mixture into an 8x8 glass baking dish and spread the mixture out evenly. If you don't use a glass dish, then spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray or line the pan with parchment paper.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the middle is set and the edges are firmed up.
- Let the baked oats cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- They are soft right out of the oven, but firm up as they cool.
- Enjoy them warm or cold.
Notes
Don’t thaw the frozen berries.
If you’re using strawberries, make sure they are sliced or quartered, not whole.
