Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are excellent choices)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or honey if preferred)

1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional for added warmth)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional for a sweet twist)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter for greasing the dish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted coconut oil or butter, ensuring it’s well coated to prevent sticking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, optional nutmeg, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed.

      Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until all the ingredients are smoothly combined and set aside.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Once incorporated, fold in the diced apples, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries (if using), ensuring an even distribution throughout.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly across the surface. Ensure the mixture is leveled to facilitate even baking.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The oatmeal is done when the top is golden brown and the center is set, with a slightly firm texture.

              Cool & Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. Dish it out warm, and consider topping each serving with a drizzle of additional maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or more sliced apples for a fresh touch.
