Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries and sliced almonds, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Substituting Oats: You can use instant oats, but they may not give you the same texture as rolled oats. Stick to rolled oats for the best results.
Frozen Blueberries: Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh blueberries. Just fold them gently into the batter to avoid them breaking apart.
Sweetener Options: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or honey, depending on your preference. For a sugar-free version, use a sugar substitute like stevia.
Dairy-Free Version: For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with any non-dairy milk, such as almond or coconut milk.
