Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 apples, diced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Other
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients and add-ins: Add the milk, lightly beaten eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, diced apples, and chopped walnuts to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Transfer and bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the oats are set and the top is lightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the baked oatmeal hot or warm. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful breakfast!
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted for a nut-free version.
- For a dairy-free option, replace milk with almond milk or oat milk.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but honey can be used as an alternative.
- This baked oatmeal can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
