Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup brown sugar (or substitute with maple syrup for a healthier alternative)

1/4 cup honey (or agave syrup)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or chopped pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (for topping)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, grease a 9x9-inch or similarly sized baking dish using melted coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, almond milk, brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and the sugar is dissolved.

      Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the oatmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed. If using, add the raisins or chopped pecans for an extra dimension of flavor.

        Transfer to Bakeware: Carefully pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly across the bottom.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts generously over the top of the oatmeal mixture, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the dish.

            Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top has turned a lovely golden brown.

              Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the oatmeal bake to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzling additional honey or maple syrup over the top if desired.

                Store Leftovers: To store any leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave before serving for a delicious warm breakfast.
