Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 medium apples, peeled and diced

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/4 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds (for added nutritional boost)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, chopped nuts, and dried fruit if using. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the diced apples and chia/flax seeds, mixing gently to combine all ingredients well. The mixture will be somewhat runny; this is perfect as the oats will absorb the liquid while baking.

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

            Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the oatmeal is set in the center. You can test it with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it’s done!

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

                Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast treat!
