Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other dairy-free milk
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed (or ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional add-ins: dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, or chopped nuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, peanut butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Add extras: Fold in your choice of chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds for extra texture.
  5. Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and center is set.
  6. Cool & serve: Let it cool for 10 minutes, slice, and enjoy warm — or refrigerate for up to 5 days for an easy meal prep breakfast.
