Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

2 medium apples, cored and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Fresh apple slices and additional nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. If you’re using nuts or dried fruit, stir those in as well.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.

          Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If desired, top with additional apple slices, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

              Cool & Serve: Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup or topped with yogurt if desired.

                Store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or they can be frozen for up to 2 months.
