Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisps work great)

1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

1/2 cup raisins or chopped walnuts (optional)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the diced apples and optional raisins or walnuts to evenly distribute throughout the oats.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

            Bake: Put the dish in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats have set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with a bit of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
