Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)
- 1/2 cup almond butter (can use any nut or seed butter)
- 2 large bananas
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- Optional: honey or maple syrup to taste
- Optional mix-ins: walnuts
- Optional: milk to adjust batter consistency
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Add the rolled oats, almond butter, and if desired, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Fold in half of the blueberries gently using a rubber spatula. Check the batter consistency; if it is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. If too thin, incorporate additional oats as needed.
- Arrange and Bake: Transfer the prepared batter evenly into the lined baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and optional mix-ins such as walnuts evenly on top. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blueberry baked oatmeal to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
