Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

      Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the diced apples, nuts, and raisins or cranberries if using.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Press down gently to compact the mixture, and top with additional apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation.

            Bake the Oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, perhaps drizzled with extra maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
