INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)

• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, divided

• ½ cup raisins

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

• 2 cups milk (I recommend hemp or 2% milk)

• 2 tart yet sweet baking apples, such as Honey Crisp, peeled and cut into ½-inch chunks (about 2 cups)

  
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with butter.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, ½ cup of the nuts, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

3. In another bowl, break up the eggs with a whisk; then whisk in the milk and vanilla until well combined.

4. Add the milk mixture to the oat mixture, along with the melted butter.

5. Scatter the apples evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 

6. Pour the oatmeal mixture over top and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup nuts on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden and the oats are set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
