Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, and optionally, top it with a drizzle of milk or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
