Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2½ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
Fruit
- 2–3 large apples (Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled and diced
Instructions
- Prep: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking, and preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended, creating a liquid base for the oatmeal mixture.
- Assemble: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture is well combined and slightly creamy.
- Layer: Evenly scatter the peeled and diced apples into the prepared baking dish, then pour the oatmeal mixture over the apples, ensuring coverage across the entire dish.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. Allow to cool slightly before serving to firm up the texture.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats will make the dish too mushy.
- Feel free to substitute melted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- Honeycrisp and Gala apples provide a nice balance of sweetness and tartness, but you can use any firm baking apples.
- Make sure to grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving; it helps it set and makes slicing easier.
