Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk variety)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are ideal)

1/2 cup brown sugar (substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative)

1/2 cup raisins or chopped walnuts (optional for added texture)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan substitute)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold in the diced apples along with the optional raisins or walnuts, ensuring even distribution among the dry mixture.

        Unite the Mixtures: Gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredient bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and no dry spots remain.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom, leveling the surface for uniform baking.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating that the oats are fully set.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. After cooling, slice into squares and serve warm. For an extra touch, drizzle with maple syrup or add a dollop of yogurt.
