  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

Add-ins

  • 2 medium apples, diced small
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or other nut)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking. If you choose a different dish size, make sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until fully blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
  5. Add Fruits and Nuts: Fold the diced apples and chopped pecans into the oat mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Press it down gently to make sure the oats absorb the liquid uniformly. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra pecans and apple pieces on top for added texture and appearance.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
  9. Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4-5 days. Reheat before serving if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk depending on preference or dietary restrictions.
  • For a sweeter version, add a bit more maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top before baking.
  • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and tartness balance.
  • To make this recipe nut-free, omit pecans or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • This baked oatmeal reheats well in the microwave or oven, making it perfect for meal prepping.
