Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

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

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

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

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (for extra moisture)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a little coconut oil.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

          Gently fold in the diced apples, nuts, and dried fruit, if using.

            Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

                Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares or slices.

                  Serve warm, and for an extra treat, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
