- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 apple, diced
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Then gently fold in the diced apple and chopped nuts if using.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with yogurt or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
