Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/4 cup maple syrup (customize according to your sweetness preference)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (can be sweetened or unsweetened)

1/2 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional: extra chopped almonds and chocolate chips for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and evenly distributed.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

        Merge the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently but thoroughly until all of the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Next, fold in the shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and mini chocolate chips, ensuring an even mix.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the combined oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it into an even layer. For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some extra chopped almonds and chocolate chips on top if you'd like.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The baked oats are ready when the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is firm to the touch.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This will make slicing easier. Cut into squares and serve warm. If desired, enhance each serving with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a generous dollop of your favorite yogurt.

                Enjoy: Take a moment to savor and enjoy the heavenly combination of chocolate, almond, and coconut flavors in every delicious bite!
