# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 163°C and grease a 23 x 33 cm baking dish with nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
03 - Add the rolled oats, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
04 - Allow the oatmeal batter to rest for 10 minutes to absorb the liquids and thicken.
05 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden brown and set.
06 - While baking, whisk powdered sugar with 15 to 30 milliliters of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
07 - Once baked, cool for 10 minutes. Cut into squares, drizzle with icing, and serve warm for best flavor.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For a vegan variation, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk and use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
02 - Incorporate chopped nuts or dried fruit into the batter to enhance texture and taste.
