Preparation
- Step 1
Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350 degrees.
- Step 2
Coarsely grate the apples (no need to peel) into a large bowl, working your way around the cores. Discard the cores. Whisk in the eggs, coconut milk and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Step 3
Add the oats to a large, high-sided, broiler-safe skillet and cook on medium-low, stirring frequently, until they smell toasty, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and pepper to gently toast in the residual heat.
- Step 4
Add the apple mixture to the skillet and stir to combine with the oats, then transfer to the oven to bake until set, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Step 5
Remove from the oven and heat the broiler to high. Evenly sprinkle the sugar on top, then broil until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide among bowls and serve with milk, buttermilk or more coconut milk. Leftover baked oatmeal can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, cover and microwave individual portions before adding milk, buttermilk or coconut milk.

This was pretty good and a nice variation on baked oatmeal. I only had 2 apples so I substituted slices from 2 bananas instead which really added some much needed texture and variation in flavour. I also used soy milk instead of coconut milk and I think any kind of milk would work here. Next time I will reduce the turmeric and completely eliminate the black pepper.
Since it already has apple in it, maybe use flax eggs instead.
Fabulous- I added some shredded coconut as well. Really good with Greek yogurt. Shall be making this again!
I made this exactly as instructed. Delicious and easy - plus it looks good and makes the house smell great while cooking. A winner!
As for salt, I am a retired Family Physician, and remember hearing a speech from an expert on hypertension who argued that only people with salt-sensitive hypertension need to limit their salt intake. My blood pressure is usually on the low normal side, so I use salt whenever needed to improve the flavor. But for those who have hypertension, reasonably limiting salt is of course, sensible.
Could this be baked in a muffin tin to make individual portions?
