Preparación

1. 1

   --- Making blueberry banana baked oatmeal ---

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/375°F. Add the oats to a bowl and cover with 4-5 tablespoons of boiling water. Keep it aside to soak for about 10 minutes, or until soft.

3. 3

   While the oats are soaking, lightly grease/spray a 7 x 11 inch or 9 x 9 inch glass/ceramic baking dish with a brush or cooking spray. Peel 2 bananas; add them to the baking pan, and mash bananas using a fork until they are smooth.

4. 4

   Now add milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon powder to the pan and stir everything well. Tip: You can also add walnuts, raisins, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds.

5. 5

   Also, add in the frozen blueberries and mix well. You can also use fresh blueberries, I like frozen for a depth of flavor and deep color.

6. 6

   Once the oats have absorbed the milk and become soft, pour the oat mixture over the bananas and blueberries and mix until everything is well combined. Top with 7-8 pieces of ripe bananas.

7. 7

   Bake the oatmeal for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set. Remove from the oven.

8. 8

   Cut into 6 portions, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, blueberries, and drizzle with some maple syrup if you want. Serve warm with a dollop of plant-based yogurt or sour cream.
