π¨βπ³ How to Make It (Step-by-step)
βοΈ Step 1: Soak the Oats
Pour the milk over oats in a bowl and let them soak for 5 minutes.
π‘This softens the oats and helps them bind better when baking.

π‘Donβt overmix β gentle whisking keeps the bake fluffy.
βοΈ Step 4: Add the Apple
Chop the apple into small pieces and fold into the mix.

Stir the soaked oats into the egg-fruit mixture.
π‘Let it sit a few extra minutes for creamier texture.
βοΈ Step 6: Add Walnuts and Chocolate
Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate.
π‘Reserve a few to sprinkle on top before baking.
βοΈ Step 7: Grease the Pan
Brush olive oil over a 15×20 cm baking dish.
π‘You can also use parchment paper for easy lifting.
βοΈ Step 8: Pour the Batter
Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish.
π‘Tap gently to release any air bubbles.
βοΈ Step 9: Bake to Golden
Bake at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for 25β30 minutes until golden and set.
