Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for added warmth)

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized casserole dish.

    Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

      Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture and stir until all the oats are well coated.

          Fold in the apples and nuts: Gently fold the diced apples into the oat mixture along with the optional walnuts and raisins. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

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

              Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

                Cool and serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, drizzled with a little more maple syrup or topped with Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.

                  Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave as needed.
