Oatmeal is often heralded as a superfood, and for good reason. This whole grain is exceptionally rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A typical serving of oats contains about 4 grams of fiber, which is essential for maintaining digestive health. The soluble fiber found in oats, known as beta-glucan, has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, promoting heart health. Moreover, the high fiber content of oats can assist in weight management by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing overall calorie intake.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 apples, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. If using, mix in the chopped nuts and dried fruits.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats are well-coated. Fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the mixture.

          Bake: Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly, and use a spatula to flatten the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.

            Cool & Serve: Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with additional caramel sauce for an extra treat!
