Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little bit of oil or cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

        Combine and Add Fruits: Add the diced apples, raisins (if using), and half of the chopped walnuts or pecans (if using) to the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is well combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining nuts on top for a nice crunch.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the oatmeal has set. It should be firm to the touch.

              Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

                Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave.
