Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium  ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2 cups  old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon  baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon  cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon  salt
  • 1 ¼ cups  milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ¼ cup  creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons  honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1 large  egg
  • ¼ cup  chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the better
  2. Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, milk, and egg to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Then pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. 
  6. Once baked, let the oatmeal cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Add crunch: Stir in chopped almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
  • Make it chocolatey: Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and top with chocolate chips.
  • Add fruit: Mix in blueberries, strawberries, or apple chunks.
  • Make it vegan: Skip the egg and replace it with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
