Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 11-inch baking pan.
Peel the bananas, place them in the baking pan and mash them roughly until they are smooth and a puree-like texture forms.
Add chia seeds, yogurt, cinnamon, rolled oats, almond milk, and half the amount of frozen berries.
Stir gently to evenly combine all the ingredients into the baking pan.
Sprinkle the remaining frozen berries on top of the pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set but still moist in the center. You can bake it longer if you prefer a dryer oatmeal texture, it's up to you.
Cool down in the pan for 20 minutes then serve lukewarm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dust of cinnamon, or almond milk/yogurt for extra moisture.
Notes
Note 1: Any plant-based yogurt works, like coconut yogurt, soy yogurt, or cashew yogurt. You can swap the plant-based yogurt with mashed banana, applesauce, or pumpkin puree.Note 2: Rolled or quick oats work. I don't recommend steel-cut oats, as their texture isn't as creamy.Note 3: You can use your favorite plant-based milk, like almond milk, cashew milk, or oat milk. I prefer an unsweetened version to make it easier to balance the sweetness. Note 4: You can use fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries), or frozen berries.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.
