Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter for a different flavor)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, no need to thaw)

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

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some paper hangs over the sides for easy lifting later.

    Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is well blended and smooth.

      Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the oat mixture. Stir well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Fold in the Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them. If you opted for frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them beforehand.

          Add Nuts or Seeds (Optional): If you're including any nuts or seeds, fold them into the mixture gently to combine.

            Spread and Level the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.

              Bake the Squares: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the entire square out of the dish and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 9 squares.

                  Serving and Storage: Enjoy the squares warm, or allow them to cool completely before storing. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze them for future breakfasts.

                    Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Servings: 9 squares

                      - Serving Suggestion: Serve the squares warm, drizzled with a little extra honey or maple syrup and a sprinkle of extra blueberries on top for a beautiful presentation!
