Description
A cozy and satisfying baked dish combining oats, apples, and walnuts, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 large apple, peeled if desired and diced (~1–1¼ cups diced)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- If using walnuts, toast briefly in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes until fragrant (optional).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to hydrate oats.
