INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356ºF.
  • Brush the baking dish with coconut oil. Set aside.
  • Add all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well to incorporate all the ingredients uniformly.
    Add the blueberries and mix to incorporate. Set aside.
  • Whisk all the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  • Mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Peel and slice one banana on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish — level with the spatula.
  • Peel and slice the second banana on top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until it is puffed up a bit, there is no liquid in the baking dish, and the fruits have burst and are thoroughly cooked - Note 1.
    Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • To make the maple vanilla yogurt, mix all the ingredients in the bowl. Serve alongside the baked oatmeal - Note 2.

NOTES

  1. After about 30 minutes into the baking, check the oatmeal. One thing you don't want to do is to overbake it.
  2. For extra flavor, you can substitute coconut yogurt instead.
  3. If you don't have toasted almonds on hand, you can quickly toast them in a preheated oven at 180ºC/365ºF for about 10 minutes.
