Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3 cups rolled oats Provides essential fiber for digestion; stick with rolled oats for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the oatmeal rise and achieve a fluffy consistency.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances out the sweetness of the dish.
For the Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Elevates flavor and warmth; feel free to reduce if you prefer a subtler taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Adds a cozy, spiced note; it's optional if you want to keep it simple.
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Introduces healthy fats and a crunch; substitute with any nut of your choice.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Gives a depth of flavor; it's optional if you want a more straightforward profile.
For the Wet Mixture
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce Acts as both a binding agent and natural sweetener; mashed bananas work well too!
  • 1 3/4 cups non-dairy mylk Adds moisture; consider almond or oat milk as alternatives.
  • 2 flax eggs ground flaxseed mixed with water This serves as your egg substitute to bind the ingredients; opt for regular eggs if you’re not vegan.
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup Sweetens up the dish; feel free to swap for agave syrup for a lower glycemic option.
For the Fruit
  • 1 cup blueberries Bring in natural sweetness and freshness; use fresh or frozen.
