Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish generously with olive oil or coconut oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, packed brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the mixture is well blended and the eggs are fully incorporated.

        Incorporate mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Then, carefully fold in the raisins and the chopped walnuts or pecans if you're using them, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

          Bake: Transfer the combined mixture to the greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is firm and the top is lightly golden brown.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles for serving. For an added touch, consider topping the individual servings with fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for a creamy finish.
