Relaxing Superfood-Packed Baked Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal recipe is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. It's packed with superfoods like chia seeds, blueberries, and walnuts, and it's naturally sweetened with maple syrup. The oats are cooked in almond milk, which makes them creamy and rich. And the best part is that it's easy to make! Simply combine all of the ingredients in a baking dish and bake until golden brown.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and filling breakfast that I could make ahead of time. I wanted something that was packed with nutrients, but that was also easy to make and delicious. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe. It's now one of my favorite breakfasts, and I'm always happy to share it with others.
