Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

2 cups milk (or any plant-based milk)

¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium-sized apples, peeled and cored)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (for greasing)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish with the melted coconut oil or butter.

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

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

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.

Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If you’d like, sprinkle the top with additional cinnamon or a handful of raisins.

Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is slightly golden.

Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy warm, perhaps with a drizzle of milk or a scoop of yogurt on top.

Store Leftovers: If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
