Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for topping

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat & Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, grease a 9x9 inch or an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well blended together.

      Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Mix until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently until thoroughly combined. Then, fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly across the bottom.

            Add Toppings: Sprinkle a touch of extra ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor and a delightful aroma while baking.

              Bake: Place the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Look for the edges to turn golden and the center to be set. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the oatmeal is properly baked.

                Cool & Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Cut the baked oatmeal into squares and serve warm. For an extra touch of deliciousness, consider drizzling with maple syrup, adding a dollop of yogurt, or garnishing with fresh fruit.
