Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, baking powder, chia seeds, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the baked oats from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally drizzled with a little extra maple syrup or topped with additional fresh blueberries.
