Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cups Fresh or frozen fruits (e.g., blueberries, sliced bananas, or diced apples)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture is uniform.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts (if using) and fruits, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a splash of milk, or a dollop of yogurt, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
