Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

3 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted coconut oil or butter.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Make sure everything is evenly combined.

      Prepare the Wet Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries if using.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set.

              Cool & Serve: Let the oatmeal bake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with additional maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or more sliced apples, if desired.
