Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats not instant
  • 1 1/2 cups milk dairy or unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups apples diced, about 2 medium, peeled or unpeeled
  • 1/3 cup walnuts chopped; pecans work too
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and salt until smooth.
  3. Stir in the oats, then fold in 1 1/2 cups of the diced apples.
  4. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and scatter the remaining apples and the walnuts over the top.
  5. Bake 35-40 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool 10 minutes, cut into 6 squares and serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave.
