Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
½ cup milk (any kind)
2 large eggs
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins (Choose One or Mix & Match):

1 cup fresh blueberries or diced apples
½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)
¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries
Cinnamon Swirl Option: ¼ cup sugar + 1 tbsp cinnamon, layered in batter

Topping (Optional):

2 tbsp oats + 1 tbsp coarse sugar for crunch
Drizzle of maple glaze (powdered sugar + milk)

Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Fold Together

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring just until combined (don’t overmix). Gently fold in your chosen add-ins.

5. Layer & Bake

For cinnamon swirl: Spoon half the batter into the pan, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix, then top with remaining batter. Smooth the top, sprinkle with oats/sugar (if using), and bake for 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool & Serve

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze or serve warm with a pat of butter.

Tips & Variations

🍎 Make it healthier: Swap ½ the flour for whole wheat or almond flour.
