Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
⅔ cup warm milk (150 ml; dairy or plant-based)
2 apples, grated or finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts or almonds
Vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
Optional add-ins: pinch of cinnamon, a few raisins or chopped dates, a sprinkle of flaxseeds
Instructions:
Soften the oats:
In a bowl, mix the oats with warm milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb and soften.
Prepare the batter:
Add grated apples, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and nuts to the oat mixture.
Mix well until fully combined.
Cook or Bake:
For oven method:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Lightly grease muffin tins or a small baking dish.
Pour in the mixture and bake for 20–25 minutes until set and golden on top.
For stovetop method (quicker):
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over low-medium heat.
Drop batter like pancakes or form small patties.

Notes & Tips:
Apples add natural sweetness — no added sugar needed!
Customize it: Use pears, bananas, or berries for different flavors.
Make it vegan: Replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and margarine.
Texture tip: For a firmer result, bake it in muffin form.
