Ingredients
  

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1 small apple, peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

A sprinkle of brown sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

      Combine All Ingredients: Add the diced apple, nuts, and dried fruits (if using) to the dry mixture. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir until everything is well combined.

        Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Start with 1 minute, then check and add time in 15-second increments if needed. The mixture should be set but still moist.

          Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on top and microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds to caramelize the sugar slightly.

            Cool and Enjoy: Allow the mug oat bake to cool for a minute or two before digging in. It can be enjoyed straight from the mug or transferred to a plate.
