Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch or similar-sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in the diced apples or fresh berries and nuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a splash of milk, a dollop of yogurt, or drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
