I can't get my kids excited about sitting down to a bowl of mush for breakfast, so it makes me smile inside that they go wild for this recipe. They consider it a special treat, and I know it's doing their little hearts good (but I'll never tell).
If you don't have non-dairy yogurt on hand (as I seldom do), just use more milk or applesauce. For this batch I actually was out of applesauce so used extra yogurt. Also use whatever sweetener you prefer, liquid or granular. This recipe is uber forgiving.
3 cups oats
1 cup raisins (optional - my kids opt out)
1/4 cup maple syrup (plus 2 Tbsp for drizzling on the top)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon (plus more for dashing on the top)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup plain non-dairy yogurt (I used almond)
1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used coconut)
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp flax seed meal mixed with 1/3 cup water
2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350.
Whisk dry ingredients together in one bowl. Whisk wet ingredients in another. Then combine the two.
Pour into an 8 x 8-inch pan that's been coated with baking spray. Top with cinnamon and 2 Tbsp maple syrup.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool to warm before cutting.
Serve with non-dairy yogurt and fruit, or just grab a square and go.
