Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/3 cup maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with melted coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute.

      Whisk the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until all the oats are moistened and the apples are evenly dispersed. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins or cranberries at this point.

          Transfer to baking dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            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.

              Cool and serve: Let the oatmeal bake cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, possibly topped with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

                Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick breakfast treat.
