Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or regular milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth, which will naturally sweeten the bake.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add almond milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined uniformly.
- Incorporate Oats: Stir in the rolled oats, making sure they are fully coated and evenly distributed into the wet mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven; this helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve or Store: Cut into squares and serve warm, or refrigerate leftover portions for a convenient breakfast later.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any preferred milk alternative.
- For extra texture, consider adding nuts or seeds.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slices in the microwave or oven before serving for best taste.
