Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (approximately 2 medium bananas)

1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred type of milk)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch square baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and removal of the baked squares.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until they are evenly combined, ensuring an even distribution of the baking powder and spices.

        Incorporate the Blueberries: Gradually fold the dry oat mixture into the wet banana mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to avoid overmixing; the goal is to blend the ingredients until just combined. Once incorporated, carefully fold in the blueberries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

          Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the pan. Bake in your preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If you used parchment paper, lift the squares out of the pan to cool completely on a wire rack. After they have cooled, slice them into squares for serving.

              Serve: Enjoy these delightful squares either warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months and enjoy a quick breakfast option anytime!
