Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil (or melted cooled coconut oil or light olive oil)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 ½ tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, avocado oil (or other chosen oil), pure maple syrup, molasses, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and sea salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer and bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the middle is set.
  5. Serve and garnish: Serve immediately in bowls or allow it to cool for about 20 minutes to cut into squares. Top with melted coconut butter, a lemon glaze, maple syrup, yogurt, or your favorite toppings for extra flavor and creaminess. Enjoy!
