Instructions
Prep. Preheat oven to 350º F.
Mix the ingredients. Whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the oats and mix-ins to the whisked wet ingredients. Stir until well combined. Top with optional nuts, if desired.
Bake. Pour the oatmeal mixture into a 9x9 baking dish or other 3-quart sized baking pan. For a custard-like baked oatmeal, bake until the center is almost set, about 30 to 35 minutes. For a firmer baked oatmeal, bake until golden brown on the top and the oatmeal has set throughout. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few moments before serving.
