Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, cored and chopped into small chunks (about 2 cups)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir just until combined and no dry spots remain.
  3. Fold in the chopped apples and any nuts or dried fruit until evenly distributed. The batter will be loose.
  4. Pour into the prepared dish and spread level. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes.
  5. Slice into 6 squares, lift out with a spatula, and serve warm.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, drizzle the top with 1 extra tablespoon of maple syrup before baking or sprinkle with a little brown sugar. Letting it rest after baking is key for neat slices; cutting too soon can make the squares crumble.
