Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 large eggs

¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)

½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Stir in the diced apples and nuts (if using).

          Pour into Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

              Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally drizzling with extra maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

                Storing Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
