Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Honeycrisp or Fuji work well)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan option)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, diced apples, walnuts (if using), ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. If you like, fold in dried cranberries or raisins for added sweetness and texture.

      Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

        Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the oatmeal has set. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean or with minimal wet batter.

          Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzled with a little extra maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

            Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven.
