Oatmeal and Apple Bites
These bites are a great way to enjoy a fiber-rich snack using simple, whole ingredients.
Ingredients
-
Oatmeal: 1 cup (90g)
-
Warm milk: 150 ml (about ⅔ cup)
-
Apples: 2 large, peeled and diced
-
Butter: 20g (1 ½ tablespoons), melted
-
Vanillin: 1/2 teaspoon (or vanilla extract)
-
Eggs: 2 large
Instructions
-
Soak the Oats: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal and the warm milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the oats have absorbed the liquid and softened.
-
Prepare the Apples: While the oats soak, peel and dice your apples into small, uniform pieces.
-
Mix the Base: Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the oat mixture along with the melted butter and vanillin. Stir until well combined.
-
Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the oat mixture so they are evenly distributed.
-
Fill the Mold: Spoon the mixture into a silicone baking mold (rectangular or muffin-shaped). Fill each cavity nearly to the top as these will not rise significantly.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the center is set.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool in the mold for a few minutes before removing them to ensure they hold their shape.
