Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°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, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup.
Stir in the vanilla extract, sodium-free baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set and the top is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into servings.
Serve warm as is, or with a splash of almond milk or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
