Oatmeal is a powerhouse of nutrition, and its primary component—rolled oats—offers a wealth of health benefits. Rolled oats are made by steaming and flattening whole oat groats, making them quick to cook while retaining their essential nutrients. One of the most notable advantages of oats is their high fiber content. A single serving of rolled oats provides a significant amount of soluble fiber, which is known to promote heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and stabilizing blood sugar.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little melted coconut oil.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

      In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Fold in the diced apple, chopped nuts, and raisins if using.

          Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set.

              Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with a drizzle of extra maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top if desired.
