Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Skillet

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flaxseeds and water in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes or until it forms a gel consistency. Note: This is the substitute for an egg, so you want the consistency to be like a gel to bind the oats together. If you’re not vegan, feel free to use a good ol’ egg instead. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients including the flax gel mixture (or egg!) and mix well. Transfer to a large cast iron skillet and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the oven and serve warm with a sprinkle of sea salt on top.Yield 4-6 ServingsPhotography by Amie Valpone>>Amie Valpone is the founder of The Healthy Apple and best-selling author of the cookbook Eating Clean: The 21-Day Plan to Detox, Fight Inflammation, and Reset Your Body.
