Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 large banana
• 2 cups almond milk
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. This will help bind the oatmeal as well as add natural sweetness.

Step 3

Add the almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing as oats can become gummy.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mixed berries and chopped nuts into the oatmeal mixture.

Step 7

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a dollop of non-dairy yogurt if desired.
