Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts or seeds (optional: walnuts, pecans, etc.)
- 0.5 cups Fresh or dried fruit (optional: blueberries, raisins, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts, seeds, or fruit to add texture and flavor.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a splash of milk, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt on top. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
