Rustic Apple &
Raspberry Oat Bake

With honey, vanilla, lemon zest and toasted oats.

A warm and comforting oat bake combining apple and raspberries with cinnamon, honey, vanilla and a delicate touch of fresh lemon zest. Greek yogurt keeps the bake tender, while oat milk gives the batter just enough lightness. Served warm with toasted oats, fresh fruit and a little honey, it makes a simple yet beautifully satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Prep Time 10 min

Bake Time 25–30 min

Temperature 175°C / 350°F

Serves 2–4

Ingredients

For the Oat Bake

1 cup rolled oats, approx. 90 g
2 eggs
1 apple, cored and roughly chopped
¼ cup Greek yogurt, approx. 60 g
¼ cup unsweetened oat milk, approx. 60 ml
2 tbsp honey
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp good-quality vanilla paste or vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of ½ organic lemon
100–125 g fresh raspberries

For Serving

2–3 tbsp rolled oats
Fresh raspberries
Thinly sliced fresh apple
Greek yogurt, optional
Honey, for drizzling

Preparation

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.

Blend the batter

Place the rolled oats, eggs, chopped apple, Greek yogurt, oat milk, honey, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla and finely grated lemon zest in a blender.

Blend until smooth

Blend until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy, but still easy to pour into the baking dish.

Add the raspberries

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the fresh raspberries over the surface and gently press a few of them into the batter.

Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until beautifully golden on top and just set in the centre.

Let it rest

Remove from the oven and allow the oat bake to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Toast the oats

Add 2–3 tablespoons of rolled oats to a dry frying pan. Toast gently over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, then immediately remove them from the hot pan.

To Serve

A Little Finishing Touch

Da Cipriano Tip

Use only the finely grated lemon zest rather than lemon juice. It adds a fresh citrus note without overpowering the apple, raspberries, cinnamon and vanilla. Toasting the oats just before serving adds a delicate crunch and brings out their warm, nutty flavour.
