How to Make Our No-Sugar Apple Oat Bake
Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Prepare the Oats
If you prefer a softer texture, pulse the oats briefly in a blender for a finer consistency. This keeps the recipe flourless while improving structure.
Mix Everything Together
In a large bowl, combine grated apples, mashed banana, water, oats, raisins, and dried blueberries.
Stir until evenly mixed.
If using cinnamon or seeds, add them now.
Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down gently with a spatula to level the surface.
Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center feels set.
Cool & Slice
Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
It will firm up as it cools.

Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds or mix in a scoop of unflavored protein powder.
