Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds. Mix them together thoroughly.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until everything is combined.
Fold in the chopped nuts and berries (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed through the mixture.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set.
Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, and feel free to top with additional berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of your favorite vegan yogurt.
