Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats (Old-Fashioned)
  • Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
  • Milk (whole dairy, almond, soy, oat, or non-dairy creamer)
  • Eggs
  • Maple syrup or Brown sugar or Honey
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)
  • Chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to evenly distribute.
  3. Core and dice the apples into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch pieces. Toss them with a tablespoon or two of maple syrup or brown sugar and a little extra cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, remaining maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry oats and stir gently until just moistened. Fold in the diced apples and any optional add-ins.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle extra cinnamon or nuts on top.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
  8. Let the bake cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
