Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 firm apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups milk (e.g., almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Peel and chop the apples into small cubes. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
  6. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use firm apples for the best texture and flavor. Customize sweetness by adding extra maple syrup if desired. Cover the dish loosely with foil if the edges brown too quickly during baking.
