Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 large apple, diced
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly incorporated. Finally, fold in the diced apples and nuts if you’re using them, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the oat mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown and the center is firm and set.
- Serve: Once baked, let the dish cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm for a cozy breakfast, or refrigerate leftovers and reheat for a quick and nutritious meal any time.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Use maple syrup for a vegan-friendly sweetener instead of honey.
- Chopped nuts add a nice crunch but can be omitted to keep it nut-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through before serving.
