Time to Cook

Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 40 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare it the night before.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. This will help the oatmeal bake evenly, giving it a lovely golden color.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apples, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined and the oats are soaking up the milk.
3. Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins if you’re using them. This adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re frothy. Then, gently fold the eggs into the oat mixture. This helps bind everything together for a perfect texture.
5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly, making sure the apples are distributed throughout.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the edges are bubbling. You’ll know it’s done when it smells amazing and the center is set.
7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps it firm up a bit, making it easier to cut into squares.
8. Serve warm, and feel free to top it with a splash of milk or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
