Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Fold in the diced apples and optional nuts, reserving a small amount for topping if desired.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved apples or nuts on top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, adding a splash of milk if needed.

Freeze tightly wrapped portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.

Swap apples for pears or berries for variation.

Use plant-based milk and flax eggs for a vegan option.
