Ingredients

Scale

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 nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish. If using a different sized dish, 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 evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined, forming a thick batter.
  5. Add apples and pecans: Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans gently to distribute them throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixture into the greased casserole dish. Press down gently to make sure the oats soak up the liquid evenly. Sprinkle extra pecans and apple pieces on top if desired for added texture and presentation.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the oatmeal to firm up slightly for perfect slicing.
  9. Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat portions as needed for a quick, wholesome breakfast.

Notes

  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • This recipe is dairy-free by using almond milk, but you can substitute with any milk of choice.
  • Adjust the baking time if using a larger or smaller baking dish.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top before serving.
  • Ensure apples are diced finely for even cooking and distribution.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
