Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

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

1/3 cup maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter, melted (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar sized) baking dish with coconut oil or butter.

    Prepare the Oatmeal Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until the oats are fully combined and the mixture appears creamy.

      Add the Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples, chopped walnuts or pecans, and dried cranberries or raisins if using. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Pour into the Baking Dish: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the mixture is firm and the tops of the apples are slightly golden.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. You can serve it warm or at room temperature.

              Optional Toppings: For extra flavor, consider topping your Oatmeal Apple Bake with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

                Enjoy your hearty and delicious Oatmeal Apple Bake as a wholesome breakfast or a delightful dessert!
