Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and mix together.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, butter, egg and vanilla extract until combined.

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in blueberries and almonds, if using.

Transfer mixture to greased baking dish and place in oven.

Serve warm, sprinkled with more almonds, and enjoy!
