Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple sauce, egg whites, Greek yogurt, milk, male syrup, vanilla, oats, hemp hearts, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and 2 cups of the apple. Stir until combined. Let sit 5 minutes or so to allow some of the milk to soak up
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with remaining apple and cinnamon, pecans, and brown sugar if using. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set (a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle) and the top is golden. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into 9 pieces. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup and Greek yogurt whip if desired.
