Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

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

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts, seeds, or fruit to add texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm as-is or with a splash of milk, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt on top. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
