Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

4 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)

1 medium ripe banana, sliced

1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries or strawberries)

Optional toppings: yogurt, nut butter, or additional sweetener

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

      Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruits, and sliced banana, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.

        Grease a baking dish (about 9x9 inches) with a little oil or cooking spray. Pour the oat mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

          Sprinkle the fresh berries on top of the porridge mixture.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

              Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into squares or scoop into bowls.

                Serve warm, topped with yogurt, a drizzle of nut butter, or additional sweetener if desired.
