- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 cup apple butter
- 2 cups milk (whole, almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs)
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the apple butter, milk, eggs (or flax eggs), melted butter (or coconut oil), and maple syrup (or chosen sweetener). Whisk until smooth.
