Make-Ahead Apple-Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Squares

Makes 6 squares. You need 2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 cups low-fat milk or fortified soy beverage, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 chopped apple, 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, and optional ¼ cup chopped walnuts. Wash hands and fruit. Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Mix oats, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, fold in the fruit, and pour into the dish. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and an instant-read thermometer reaches 160°F (71°C) because the mixture contains eggs. Cool for 15 minutes, cut into six squares, and refrigerate covered portions within two hours. Reheat only the amount you plan to eat. Omit walnuts for a nut-free version and check all labels for cross-contact; milk choice may alter texture slightly.
