Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups chopped apples (peeled if desired, about 2 medium apples)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 inches) to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the wet mixture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Add Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apples and chopped walnuts or pecans if using, distributing them throughout the batter.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared greased baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns a golden brown color.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with extra milk, cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or pecans.
  • Use dairy or non-dairy milk according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • Peeling the apples is optional depending on your texture preference.
  • This dish can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated for a quick breakfast.
  • Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor balance of the oatmeal.
