Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal

Alright, here's the story: my boyfriend and I were eating way too much junk. The crap we were eating was draining our energy, and ruining our progress at the gym. We know better, but sometimes bad food just tastes so good (I'm a pig).
We started cleaning up our diets, but food started getting repetitive and dull - and for a pig, that just won't do. Now I'm on a quest to find simple healthy recipes to knock our socks off, and I want to share them with you!

Dessert for breakfast? Is that even a question ... The apple pie baked oatmeal I cooked up this morning is exactly the recipe I was looking for to launch my blog. It's rich and bursting with flavour, anything baking with cinnamon is heaven in my books.

The recipe can easily be doubled, just increase the baking time to 35 minutes and use an 8x8 pan.
Original recipe makes 2 large servings.

Ingredients:
Wet mix:
- 1/3 cup of almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp ground flax
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 tbsp baking stevia (or sweetener of choice)
Dry mix:
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk (set aside)
Optional topping:
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts, 1 tsp honey, sprinkle of cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F and grease 8x4 loaf tin.
2. Mix wet ingredients in a bowl. Set aside for 5 min.
3. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl
4. Combine ingredients in the loaf tin, spreading evenly.
5. Pour remaining almond milks on top. Sprinkle with walnut topping if desired.
6. Bake for 25 minutes. Broil on low for an additional 2 minutes.
