Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (or similar size) baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. If you're adding nuts or shredded coconut, include them in this step.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to the mixture, being careful not to crush them if they're fresh.

            Pour into the Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

              Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.

                Cool and Cut: Once baked, allow the squares to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or bars. For easier removal, you can lift them out using the parchment paper.

                  Serve: Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. These squares can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for longer storage.
