👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Making blueberry banana baked oatmeal ---
2. 2Preheat 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. 3While 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. 4Now 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. 5Also, 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. 6Once 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. 7Bake the oatmeal for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set. Remove from the oven.
8. 8Cut 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.
