Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 medium Banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of melted coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the chopped walnuts to the dry mixture and stir to distribute them evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and mashed banana until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until all the oats are coated and the mixture is well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle berries on top for an added burst of flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool for 5-10 minutes in the baking dish before slicing.
Serve warm as-is or with an optional drizzle of maple syrup, extra nuts, or a splash of almond milk on top for added flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven as needed.
