Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

3 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, chia seeds, raisins/cranberries, and nuts. Stir well to combine.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the diced apples and stir until everything is well combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

            Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. A tester inserted in the center should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, topped with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

                Store: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
