How to Make Baked Applesauce Oatmeal

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using raisins, plump them by soaking in warm water for 10 minutes before stirring them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
