Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with butter or oil.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt and baking powder.
    2 cups old fashioned rolled oats, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, egg, vanilla, maple syrup and molasses until smooth. Next, whisk in the milk until well combined. 
    ½ cup almond butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 ¾ cups milk of choice
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine, making sure everything is well mixed. 
  • Stir in the apple, ginger and chocolate chips. Arrange the apple slices on top. Pour into the prepared dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and the top is golden brown. 
    1 cup finely diced apple, ¼ cup crystallised ginger, ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

To finish

  • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small heatproof bowl and place over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted. Alternatively, heat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
    2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon coconut oil
  • Once baked, drizzle the oatmeal with the melted chocolate, cut into 6-9 pieces and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Use a baking dish that has a volume of at least 1 quart/1 litre. 
  • Make sure to whisk the egg and other wet ingredients together first before adding in the milk. It's easier to combine everything this way.
  • Make sure to use gluten free certified oats to ensure this is gluten free.
  • Inspiration for this recipe came from Monique's recipe
