Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples, along with walnuts or pecans and dried cranberries or raisins if using, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with an additional drizzle of maple syrup, a splash of milk, or a dollop of yogurt on top.
