Random vegan meal ideas_Baked Apple pumpkin oatmeal

Call me basic whatsoever but it's pumpkin and pumpkin spiced everything season. It's been freezing cold these day. There was snow two days before I'm writing this. I have to say goodbye to quick and easy smoothies. It's oatmeal time. The thing with oatmeal is sometimes it can be boring and mushy. Baked oatmeal on the other hand is like the perfect solution for those who don't like mushy oatmeal. It is significantly thicker, almost like a cake but with a little bit of texture. It is wonderful.
So, let's get started, shall we?

1 1/2 cup water
1/2 tbsp flax meal
