Ingredients

Vegan Baked Oatmeal Base:

2 large spotty bananas, mashed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (200g) old-fashioned rolled oats,
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Flavor Variations:

½ cup nuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, or roasted peanuts
1 cup of mix-ins, blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana slices, chocolate chips (OR ½ cup of shredded carrot + ½ shredded coconut)

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch square dish with cooking or avocado oil spray.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nuts.
Pick Mix-ins: Pick your favorite mix-ins. I do ½ of nuts like walnuts, pecans, or peanuts with 1 cup of fruit/berries like blueberries, apple cubes, banana slices, or chocolate chips. Listed everything above and also in the blog post!
Fold in Mix-Ins: Hand-fold in the blueberries (or your chosen mix-in).
Pour and Garnish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle extra fruit or nuts on top if desired.
Bake: Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is done.
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy with peanut butter, almond butter, or yogurt, and top with fresh berries!

Notes

To Store: Storing leftovers is so easy! Place individual baked oatmeal squares in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

To Freeze: Simply let the baked oatmeal cool, cut it into squares, and then place each square in a freezer-safe and airtight bag and freeze for up to 3 months!

To Reheat: When ready to enjoy, either place the chilled baked oatmeal squares in the microwave for 20 – 45 seconds to heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 10 minutes in an oven-safe dish.

Bananas (as a binding agent): Substitute the mashed bananas with 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin puree.

Coconut Oil: Use melted vegan butter, olive oil, or avocado oil as a substitute for coconut oil.

Flaxseed (for binding and nutrition): Chia seeds or hemp seeds can be used instead of flaxseed.

Rolled Oats: I highly recommend using rolled oats, but if necessary, you can try using quick oats. The texture will be a bit softer.
