👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

1. The Soak & Prep (0–15 Mins)

  1. 🥣 Soften: In the Mixing bowl, combine Regular Oats and Whole Oats. Pour the Warm Water over them and let sit for 10 Minutes.

  2. 🔥 Preheat: Set your oven to 180°C.

  3. 🧈 Grease: Use the Paper towel to rub Butter all over the inside of the Baking dish.

2. The Batter (15–20 Mins)

  1. 🥚 Bind: Add the Eggs, Salt, and Baking powder to the soaked oats. Stir until the eggs are fully incorporated.

  2. 🔪 Chop: Dice the Apples and Banana into small, even pieces.

  3. 🔄 Fold: Stir the Apples, Banana, Raisins, Sweetener, and Extra Water into the oat mixture. Mix until the fruit is evenly spread.

3. The Bake (20–70 Mins)

  1. 🥘 Fill: Pour the mixture into the greased Baking dish.

  2. ⏲️ Bake: Place in the center of the oven for 50 Minutes.

  3. 🧤 Check: Use Oven mitts to remove the dish when the top is firm and golden brown. 🛑 Turn the oven Off.

  4. ❄️ Rest: Let the bake cool completely on the counter before slicing; this helps the whole grains set so it doesn't crumble.

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🔥 Oven Heat: When opening the oven, stand back for a second to let the initial burst of heat escape before reaching in. Always use Two oven mitts.

  • 🔪 Stable Cutting: Slice your fruit on a flat cutting board, not in your hand. Keep your "holding" fingers tucked in like a claw.

  • 🥘 Weight Warning: This dish is dense and heavy due to the whole oats and fruit. Use a firm grip with both hands when moving it in or out of the oven.
