Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

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

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Fresh apple slices and additional nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

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

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, nuts, and raisins (if using).

          Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Press down lightly to ensure the mixture is packed in.

            Add Toppings: If desired, add fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of additional nuts on top for extra crunch.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats have set.

                Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
