Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Fresh apple slices and more cinnamon for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

      Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), applesauce, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until nicely blended.

        Add apples and nuts: Toss in the diced apples, chopped walnuts or pecans (if using), and raisins or dried cranberries (if using) into the wet mixture. Stir until everything is well coated.

          Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until just combined.

            Transfer to baking dish: Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Optionally, you can arrange some fresh apple slices on top and sprinkle more cinnamon for added flavor.

              Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

                Cool and serve: Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, and if desired, add a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
