A cozy, custardy baked oatmeal with tender apples, walnuts and warm cinnamon. Make it Sunday and reheat all week.

Serve with a splash of cold milk or a spoonful of yogurt. Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge and reheat in the microwave in about a minute.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the dish
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.

  3. In a second bowl whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup and vanilla.
