Ingredients

1 ¼ cups milk regular, oat, or soy
¾ cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs large
4 Tbsp. butter melted
3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. apple pie spice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. salt
1 ¾ cups apples finely diced (about 1 medium)
⅔ cup pecans coarsely chopped, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs and melted butter in a large bowl.
Add in the oats, baking powder, spice, vanilla, and salt. Mix until well combined. Pour in the apples and ½ cup pecans. Stir everything together with a spatula until just combined. (Don’t let the mixture sit for more than about 5 minutes before baking in the oven as it will start to thicken up.)
Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and spread the oatmeal mixture out in a single layer. Top with the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans on top.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the middle is almost set. For drier oatmeal, cook for 5-10 minutes more.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting in. Serve with butter, additional maple syrup, or yogurt. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

How to Prep-Ahead: The best thing about this baked oats dish is how easy this is to meal prep for the week. Make the oatmeal in a pan, cover with foil, and leave it in the fridge until you're ready to bake.

How to Store: Keep leftover apple oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. Do NOT leave this out on the counter. Think of this as more of an overnight oats recipe instead of a quick bread or cake recipe.

How to Freeze: For the best results, wrap individual portions in wax paper so you can pull out one at a time. Freeze for up to 4-6 months.

How to Reheat: Add the baked oatmeal to a toaster oven and heat for a few minutes. You can also place on a dish and pop in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Place a damp paper towel on top to prevent it from drying out in the microwave.
