Sugar-Free Oatmeal and Apple Energy Dessert
Ingredients
-
Rolled Oats: 1 cup
-
Warm Milk: ⅔ cup (150 ml)
-
Apples: 2, grated or finely diced
-
Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
-
Eggs: 2 large
-
Vanilla Extract: ½ teaspoon
-
Walnuts or Almonds: ½ cup, chopped (optional for added texture)
Detailed Instructions
-
Hydrate the Oats: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of rolled oats with the ⅔ cup of warm milk. Stir well and allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes so the oats can soften and absorb the liquid.
-
Prepare the Fruit and Nuts: While the oats are soaking, peel and either grate or finely dice the 2 apples. If using walnuts or almonds, chop them into small pieces to ensure even distribution.
-
Create the Batter: Add the 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the soaked oats. Mix thoroughly until the eggs are fully incorporated. Fold in the prepared apples and nuts.
-
Fill the Molds: Lightly grease a silicone mold or muffin tin. Using a spoon, fill each cavity nearly to the top with the batter, as these bites do not rise significantly.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 25–30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the centers are firm.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the dessert cool in the mold for at least 5 minutes before removing. This helps the structure set, making them easy to grab as a portable energy snack.
Why This Works
-
Natural Sweetness: Grated apples provide moisture and sweetness without the need for refined sugar.
-
Satiety: The combination of fiber from the oats and protein from the eggs helps keep you feeling full and energized.
