Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of coconut oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and chia seeds (if using). Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a few extra blueberries and nuts on top for garnish, if desired.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy it with a splash of almond milk or a drizzle of maple syrup on top.
