Ingredients

2 large Ripe Bananas 3/4 cup mashed bananas (note 1)
½ cup Almond Butter (note 2)
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (note 3)

1 ½ cups Unsweetened Almond Milk (note 5)

½ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ cup Almonds chopped

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 9-inch baking pan.
Place the peeled ripe bananas in the pan and mash them with a fork into a puree.
Add almond butter, chia seeds, oats, almond milk, and cinnamon and vanilla extract if used.
Stir gently to evenly combine all the ingredients into the baking pan.
Fold in the blueberries and stir to incorporate.
Bake the oatmeal for 30-40 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until set but slightly moist in the center. You can bake it longer if you prefer a dryer oatmeal texture, it's up to you.
Let the oatmeal cool down in the pan for 20 minutes, then refrigerate it overnight to firm up or serve it lukewarm with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Note 1: You can swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter or plant-based yogurt for a nut-free option.

Note 2: Rolled or quick oats work but quick oats make the baked oatmeal firmer as it cools down. I don't recommend steel-cut oats, as their texture isn't as creamy.

Note 3: You can use your favorite plant-based milk, including protein-fortified milks to boost the protein content

Note 4: You can use frozen or fresh blueberries. You don't need to thaw frozen berries before adding them to the batter.

Protein Boost: You can stir up to 2 scoops of protein powder in the recipe. It makes the recipe dry if you don't add extra milk, which you can adjust to make the recipe creamier - adding 1/3 cup extra milk per scoop of protein powder.

Storage: Store the remaining baked oats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in its baking pan, wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent the oatmeal from drying. You can also freeze this banana blueberry baked oatmeal in an airtight container and thaw it in the fridge the day before. Rewarm one serving in the microwave, in a microwave-safe breakfast bowl, until lukewarm.
