Notes

Top tips

Cut apples into small cubes - Cut apples into about ½ inch pieces so they soften while baking but still hold their shape in the oatmeal.
Let it cool before slicing - If you want to cut this into bars, let it cool completely. Since this recipe is egg-free, it will be soft right out of the oven and firms up as it cools.
Use the right pan when doubling - If doubling, use a 9x13 casserole dish and increase baking time by 5 to 10 minutes to ensure it cooks through.
Stir in the flax right away - Mix the ground flax into the wet ingredients immediately to prevent clumping.
