Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 large banana
- 2 cups almond milk
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with a bit of coconut oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. This will help bind the oatmeal as well as add natural sweetness.
Add the almond milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir well to combine.
In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing as oats can become gummy.
Gently fold in the mixed berries and chopped nuts into the oatmeal mixture.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a dollop of non-dairy yogurt if desired.
