Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (walnuts, almonds, or chia seeds)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

      Add Dry Ingredients: To the mixture, add the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to mash them (if using frozen, there’s no need to thaw).

          Add Nuts/Seeds (Optional): If you’re adding nuts or seeds, fold them into the mixture as well.

            Spread and Level: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread and level the mixture evenly.

              Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Lift out using the parchment paper, transfer to a cutting board, and cut into squares.

                  Serve or Store: Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for later use.
