Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries
• 1 cup Sliced banana
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds or flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, chia seeds (or flaxseeds), baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a quarter of the sliced banana until well combined.

Step 4

Layer half of the sliced bananas evenly at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top the banana layer with 1 cup of the mixed berries.

Step 5

Pour the dry oat mixture evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish, spreading it out so it covers the fruit completely.

Step 6

Carefully pour the almond milk mixture over the oats and fruit. Gently shake the baking dish to ensure the liquid soaks through and all ingredients are fully covered.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining mixed berries on top along with any optional chopped nuts if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares or scoop portions with a spoon.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. You can serve it on its own or with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of extra maple syrup, if desired.
