Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish with a bit of oil or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the mashed banana until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and a majority of the berries, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top with the reserved berries, gently pressing them into the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and lightly browned on top.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy warm, optionally with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt.
