Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cups Fresh or frozen fruits (e.g., blueberries, sliced bananas, or diced apples)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture is uniform.
Fold in the chopped nuts (if using) and fruits, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the baked oatmeal is set in the center.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a splash of milk, or a dollop of yogurt, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
