Method
Baked Oat Base
- 1
Preheat and prepare dish
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 8x8-inch (or similar 9x9) baking dish with butter or oil and set aside.
- 2
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
- 3
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup whisk together 1 1/2 cups almond milk, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey), and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.

Assemble base
Pour the wet mixture over the dry oats and stir to combine. Let sit 5 minutes to hydrate the oats slightly so mixture thickens.
Fruit & Nuts (mixed in and topping)
- 5
Prepare fruit and nuts
If using apples or larger fruit, dice into small pieces; if using berries, leave whole or halve large berries. Chop nuts coarsely. If using dried fruit, roughly chop larger pieces.

Incorporate into batter
Fold 1 cup seasonal fruit and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (and 1/4 cup dried fruit if using) into the oat mixture until evenly distributed. Reserve a small handful (about 2 tbsp) of nuts and fruit for sprinkling on top before baking.

Optional flavor note
For added warmth, sprinkle an extra 1/8 tsp cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg into the mixture.

Bake
Bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs). If using very juicy fruit, you may need an extra 3–5 minutes.

Cool slightly
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the dish so it firms up and is easier to portion.
