1tspBaking Powder
3/4cupApplesauce or Nut Butter
1tspVanilla Extract

Optional Add-ins
1/2cupDried fruit (like dried cranberries, apricots, raisins)
1/2cupPecans (or sliced almonds)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl or an 8x8 oven-safe dish, mix all the ingredients together, folding in the dried fruit and apples last. (If making in a large bowl, transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish once the mixture is ready.)
Bake the mixture for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with almond butter or peanut butter. Enjoy!
