Main Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 apples, diced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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, and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Then fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts, mixing thoroughly.
- Transfer and bake: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until the oats are set and the top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then serve the baked oatmeal hot or warm. Enjoy this comforting and nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- This baked oatmeal can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- Substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk.
- Add raisins or dried cranberries for extra texture and sweetness.
- If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the maple syrup to 2 tablespoons.
