Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
1 large apple, diced 2 eggs
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
3. Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
4. Fold in diced apples and nuts, if using.
5. Pour mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
7. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or refrigerate and reheat for a quick breakfast.
Notes
Use almond milk and skip nuts for a dairy-free and nut-free version. Swap apples with pears or add raisins/cranberries for variation. For extra protein, serve with Greek yogurt or add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the mix. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
