Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9-inch deep pie dish to prevent sticking.

- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt into the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Almonds and Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced almonds and chopped fresh strawberries into the oatmeal batter, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
- Transfer and Top: Pour the oatmeal batter into the greased baking dish and evenly spread it out. Top with additional sliced strawberries and almonds for garnish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is almost set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
