Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 2 cups)

1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Optional: 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped apples, honey, almond milk, eggs (or applesauce), vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

      Incorporate nuts and dried fruits: Fold in the chopped nuts and if desired, add the raisins or dried cranberries. This gives your bake a lovely texture and added flavor.

        Transfer to baking dish: Pour the oat mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test the doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

            Cool and serve: Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of additional honey if desired.

              Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes well—simply reheat in the oven or microwave!
