Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds + more for topping

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk of choice
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (~½ cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries, do not thaw if frozen

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Lightly mist a 9×9 or 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet and dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, mashed banana, eggs, avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir everything together thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
  3. Add almonds and blueberries: Gently fold in the sliced almonds and fresh or frozen blueberries, making sure the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking it up.
  4. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Optionally, top with a few additional blueberries and sliced almonds for extra texture and visual appeal.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Cool slightly: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes to set further and cool slightly for easier slicing.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enhance with toppings such as whipped cream, yogurt, additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon as desired.
  8. Store leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave a serving for 30-60 seconds or warm in a 300℉ oven for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to prevent excess moisture.
  • Substitute milk of choice to accommodate dietary preferences, such as almond or oat milk for dairy-free or vegan variations (omit eggs and substitute accordingly for vegan).
  • Leftovers can be frozen and reheated without losing texture or flavor.
  • Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor balance and sweetness.
  • Customize toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to vary the texture and taste.
