Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 eggs

1/3 cup maple syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

2 cups rolled oats

2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 medium apples, divided (about 1 1/2 cups finely diced and 1/2 cup chopped)

1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts, divided

Optional: Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×7-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well combined.
  3. Stir in the dry ingredients: Add the oats, pumpkin pie spice (or the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger combination), baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the apples and walnuts: Fold in the finely diced apples and 1/4 cup of the toasted chopped walnuts into the oatmeal mixture.
  5. Pour and top: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Add the remaining chopped apples and walnuts on top for a delicious crunch and extra flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until the oatmeal is puffed and the center is just set. The oatmeal will continue to set as it cools.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the oatmeal cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. It can be served warm or cold, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free: Use coconut oil in place of butter and a dairy-free yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) for serving.
  • Extra Spice: Add more cinnamon or a pinch of ground cloves for a spicier flavor profile.
  • Add-ins: Add raisins, dried cranberries, or chia seeds to the oatmeal for extra texture and flavor.
  • Sweeteners: Swap the maple syrup with honey, agave, or any sweetener of your choice.
