Start by making homemade buttermilk: mix 2 cups of sweetened vanilla almond milk with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the homemade buttermilk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Spray a 9x9 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake for approximately 35 minutes, checking for the center to be set and the edges to start pulling away from the sides.

Let the baked oatmeal rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into it.

Serve topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
