Remember that time I bought blueberry buckwheat chia muesli? Well it was forever ago and I was getting anxious to use it! Like, it was staring at me from my pantry saying, "why aren't you eating me, I am delicious!"

Cue produce.

Well after an orchard visit to Carter Mountain in Charlottesville, I was feeling super inspiration for an apple oatmeal bake. So this idea of apples + muesli = golden. I think the fresh and tart apples really put it over the top - yay for local produce. The added spice and sweetness from the muesli mix didn't hurt either.

This recipe is very adaptable - add whatever sounds good to you (pears, plums, banana, etc.). I left the skin on the apples because #easy and #beautiful but you could peel them if that's not your thing. And yes, cooking and working is acceptable, as shown below.

Buckwheat Muesli Apple Bake

Recipe inspired by In It 4 the Long Run There's nothing like a warm breakfast on a cool fall morning/ Prep the ingredients the night before and bake in the morning for a bomb start to your day. Leftovers will be great for a breakfast on the go!

Ingredients

For the apples:

2 apples diced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. cinnamon

For the oats:

2 cups muesli or rolled oats
½ tsp. baking powder
1 and ½ Tbsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. cloves
¼ tsp. nutmeg
Pinch of ginger
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cup milk I used almond
1 mashed banana
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. maple syrup or honey
Nuts for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan (I used coconut oil).
In a medium sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (oats/muesli, spices, baking powder, salt).
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (banana, milk, vanilla, sweetener), starting with the mashed banana. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stir to combine.
Toss diced apples with lemon juice and another sprinkle of cinnamon, then fold these into the oat mixture.
Pour the oat mixture into the greased pan and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake 20-25 minutes.

Bon appétit!
