Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a quarter of the sliced banana until well combined.
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.
Pour the dry oat mixture evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish, spreading it out so it covers the fruit completely.
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.
Sprinkle the remaining mixed berries on top along with any optional chopped nuts if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown.
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.
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.
