Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mashed banana about 2 large or 3 medium
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts chocolate chips, banana coins (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and grease an 8x8 pan with nonstick spray. I also like to cut a piece of parchment to put on the bottom as a liner.
  2. In a small bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir.
  3. In a large bowl, mash bananas until completely soft.
  4. Whisk in eggs, then stir in almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla.
  5. Add oat mixture to wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  6. If you want to add in walnuts, chocolate, banana coins, you can add them now.
  7. Pour into greased dish and bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Let cool before cutting.
  9. Enjoy!
  10. *See notes in recipe for storing.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats and make sure your bananas are really ripe. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your oatmeal will be. Several readers note this is the key to making this recipe really shine!
  • Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. In addition to greasing the dish, cutting a piece of parchment for the bottom helps it come out cleanly and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool before cutting. The oatmeal needs time to set up after coming out of the oven — cutting it too soon will give you a crumbly mess. It stores in the fridge for up to a week and freezes beautifully for up to 6 months.
