Preheat & Prep

  2. Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is mixed.
  3. Fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using).
Bake

  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Serve

Notes

For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving. Add raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
