Oatmeal Apple Cranberry Bake: A Heart-Healthy Treat

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of avocado oil or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Grate the apples (you can keep the skin on for extra fiber) and the tangerine peel. Set them aside.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. This step helps to incorporate air into the mixture, making the bake lighter.

Add the grated apples, juice of the tangerines, and avocado oil to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the wet ingredients.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the oatmeal, baking powder, Stevia, vanillin, grated ginger, and grated tangerine peel. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the cranberries to the dry mixture. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently combine them, ensuring all the oats are moistened and evenly mixed. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
5. Transfer to the Baking Dish:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure it cooks uniformly.
6. Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly crisp, and the center should be firm.

7. Cool and Serve:
Allow the oatmeal bake to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. This helps it to set and makes it easier to cut into squares or slices.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with a drizzle of honey, extra cranberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Cooking Tips:
Substitutions: You can use honey, maple syrup, or any sweetener of your choice instead of Stevia if you prefer.
