A comforting breakfast that combines chewy oats and tender apples with warm spices, perfect for any day of the week.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 medium apples (peeled and diced)

- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large beaten egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions

- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice and fold them into the dry mixture.
- Whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla, then pour over the oat-apple mix and stir until combined.

- Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and a knife in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a firmer bake, reduce the milk by 2–4 tbsp. For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, or soy milk and a vegan butter substitute.
