Ingredients
Oatmeal
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 160 g
- 2 cups 2% milk 480 ml
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium apples cored and diced into 1/4-inch pieces, about 300 g prepared
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 80 g
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 28 g, melted, plus a little for the dish
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Equipment
- 8-inch square baking dish about 20 cm
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Instructions
Bake the oatmeal
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Combine the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla.
- Stir the wet mixture into the oats, then fold in the diced apples. Pour into the dish and spread the apples evenly.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the center is set rather than liquid and the edges are lightly golden. Because the mixture contains eggs, check that the center reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest for 10 minutes before cutting into six portions. Serve warm, with milk or yogurt if desired.

Notes
Use rolled oats, not steel-cut oats. Nutrition is an estimate per one-sixth of the pan, calculated from USDA FoodData Central ingredient data; optional toppings and the small amount of pan grease are excluded. Refrigerate portions promptly in shallow containers, use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F (74°C).
