- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (or fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the oats.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup. Blend thoroughly for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the oats have broken down and the mixture is fully combined.

- Bake: Bake the prepared mixtures in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the oats are cooked through and set.
Notes
- You can substitute chai spice with ground cinnamon if preferred.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries according to availability; no need to thaw frozen blueberries before use.
- Ripe banana acts as a natural sweetener and binder—ensure banana is well ripe for best flavor and texture.
- These baked oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds on top before baking for extra crunch and nutrition.
