Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well-blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, add the brown sugar, and stir until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
Serving
- Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For best flavor, consider using coconut milk or oat milk as substitutes for almond milk. Adjust sweetness according to your taste. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze portions for later use.
