Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk (regular or non-dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, or a sprinkle of brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  4. Peel and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Fold them into the dry mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. If desired, sprinkle the top with chopped nuts, raisins, or a pinch of brown sugar for added texture and flavor.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. You’ll know it’s done when the edges pull slightly away from the pan.
  9. Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens may vary.’, ‘Use fresh, firm apples for the best texture and flavor.’, ‘Don’t overmix the ingredients to maintain a light texture.’, ‘Taste the wet mixture before baking and adjust the sweetness if needed.’, ‘Prep ahead by dicing apples and mixing dry ingredients the night before.’]
