Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick and is easy to serve.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the old-fashioned oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Fold in Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts or pecans if you’re using them, ensuring they’re evenly mixed throughout the batter.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set and firm.
  7. Serve: Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm for the best taste and texture, or refrigerate leftovers to reheat quickly on busy mornings.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Use honey instead of maple syrup if preferred, but do not give honey to children under 1 year.
  • Optional nuts add crunch and healthy fats, but you can omit them for a nut-free dish.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm.
