For 6 servings
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure the leavening and spices are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set (it shouldn't jiggle when gently shaken) and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set properly for clean cuts. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

The texture of the final dish relies on old-fashioned rolled oats. Instant oats are too thin and will result in a mushy texture, while steel-cut oats are too dense and require much more liquid and a longer cooking time to become tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, you can microwave a slice for 30-60 seconds or warm it in a toaster oven. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
