Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower.
- This baked oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
- Add a splash of milk when reheating if the oatmeal seems dry.
- To make it vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
