Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk or milk alternative
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 2 medium fresh apples, washed, cored, and diced

Instructions

  1. Prep the Apples: Wash, core, and dice your apples into small, even pieces to ensure they bake evenly and soften nicely.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and any additional spices in a mixing bowl to create the oatmeal base.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine and Add Apples: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until fully combined, then fold in the diced apples for bursts of fresh flavor.
  5. Bake: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing into squares for an inviting presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance against the sweet syrup.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture light and tender.
  • Watch the bake time carefully to avoid drying out the dish; look for a golden top and slight firmness.
  • For added texture, sprinkle oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
  • Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes so it firms up and slices cleanly.
