- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with coconut oil. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - oats, flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients - nondairy milk, avocado oil and egg. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet into the dry and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the apple chunks.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
