How to Make Apple Oatmeal Bake

Making Apple Oatmeal Bake is super simple! Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a 19 cm (7.5 inches) baking tin with baking paper. This will make it easy to lift out the bake once it’s done.

  2. Blend the mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats, chopped apples, water, banana, eggs, and baking powder. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth.

  3. Add the nuts and raisins: Pour the blended mix into a bowl and stir in the almonds and raisins until they are evenly spread throughout the batter.

  4. Pour into the tin: Transfer the batter into your prepared baking tin and use a spatula to smooth the top so it bakes evenly.

  5. Bake to perfection: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Check for doneness; it should be golden brown and set in the middle.

  6. Cool and slice: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool a bit. Then slice it up into squares or rectangles for serving.

  7. Serve with flair: If you want, dust the top with powdered sweetener before serving. You can also dress it up with extra fruits to make it even more appealing!
