Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/2 cup chopped almonds (or slivered for a different texture)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: additional blueberries, sliced bananas, almond slivers, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Next, fold in the blueberries and chopped almonds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, then press down lightly to ensure the mixture is compact and uniform.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set firmly.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve the oatmeal warm, and feel free to add optional toppings like extra blueberries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.

                Store Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven before serving to enjoy warm.

                    Presentation Tips: For an attractive presentation, serve the oatmeal bake on individual plates and top with a few fresh blueberries and banana slices. A light dusting of cinnamon on top can add an appealing finish.
