Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 medium apples, diced small
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or other nut)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8 inch casserole dish. If using a different size, adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to distribute all the spices evenly through the oats.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully mixed.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until all the oats are thoroughly soaked and the mixture is well combined.
  5. Add Apples and Pecans: Fold the diced apples and chopped pecans into the oatmeal mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish. Press down gently to ensure the oats soak up the liquid. Optionally, sprinkle some extra chopped pecans and diced apples on top for added texture and visual appeal.
  7. Bake: Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to cut into portions.
  9. Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. Reheat before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, drizzle additional maple syrup on top when serving.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any dairy or non-dairy milk of your choice.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or replace them with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Adding a pinch of ground cloves or allspice can enhance the warm spice profile.
  • Ensure apples are diced small so they cook evenly inside the oatmeal.
  • Use a larger baking dish if you want a thinner oatmeal layer; adjust cooking time accordingly.
