Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the blender.

Blend the mixture starting on low speed and increasing the speed.

In a 10-inch square pan, add the remaining 1 cup of rolled oats.

Pour the blended liquid mixture into the pan with the oats.

Add a pinch of salt (optional) to the mixture in the pan.

Add about 1 cup of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) to the pan.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts on top of the mixture.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes.

Check the texture after 23 minutes; it should firm up as it cools.
