Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Apple Banana Baked Oatmeal

We loved baked oatmeal. I wanted to figure out a recipe that wouldn't use refined sugar. We like to top it with additional fresh fruit or reheat it with additional soy milk.




Apple Banana Baked Oatmeal

2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups boiling water
2 small apples, diced with or without skin
1 banana, diced
1 cup flaked coconut, raisins, Craisins, currents, chocolate chips, etc. - optional
3/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Combine the oats and water then cover for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients then mix until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture into a parchment paper lined 8x8 dish. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and set.
*  Once cooled cut into serving sized squares and then freeze or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
