Ingredients
  

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 small apple, peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey if preferred)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries (optional for a touch of sweetness)

A sprinkle of brown sugar for topping (optional, for caramelization)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, add the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.

      Integrate All Components: Incorporate the diced apple, nuts (if using), and dried fruits (if using) into the dry mixture. Pour the wet ingredients over the oats and gently stir until everything is thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.

        Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and heat on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Begin with 1 minute, then check for doneness. If needed, continue to microwave in 15-second increments until the mixture is set but still a little moist in the center.

          Add Toppings: If you wish, sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar on top of the baked oat mixture. Return to the microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds to allow the sugar to melt and create a light caramelized layer.

            Cool and Serve: Let the mug oat bake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. You can savor it straight from the mug or transfer it onto a plate for a fancier presentation.
