Ingredients
Wet Ingredients

- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ¼ cups milk of choice
- ¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 2 lemons)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat oven to 375ºF and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish or similar size to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh raspberries, being careful not to break the berries too much.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve warm as a bowl with your favorite toppings such as extra maple syrup or honey, or let cool and cut into squares for an easy grab-and-go meal.
