Apple Pie Oatmeal Bake

A healthy apple and spice oatmeal recipe that can be easily prepped for a week of ready-to-eat breakfast or served up for family brunch. Flaxseed adds extra fiber and Omega 3 fatty acids. Eggs, pecans and a protein boost help make this a more balanced, nourishing meal than your average bowl of oats.

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla 
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

4. Spray the sides of a 9-inch baking dish with coconut oil and then pour the prepared mixture in.

5. Bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the pecan topping.

2. Return to the oven and bake an additional 15-20 minutes.
