Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 or 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Mix all ingredients well to combine.
Add in the melted coconut oil, egg, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything well to combine.
Add the chopped dates to the mixture and mix well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the oatmeal into the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
Cut the baked oatmeal into 6 servings. Serve immediately or store leftovers in the refrigerator to be used throughout the week. Can be served cold or re-warmed and topped with toppings of choice.
