Ingredients

Baked Oatmeal Recipe Base

2 medium over-ripe bananas mashed equal to 3/4 cup (see notes)
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups non-dairy milk of choice
2 ¼ cups rolled oats
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Walnut Banana Bread

⅔ cup chopped toasted walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Blueberry

1 heaping cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

3 tablespoons all-natural creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips I used Lily's

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper; set aside.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl mash bananas until only small clumps remain. Add in flaxseed meal, vanilla and milk. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
Add dry ingredients: Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Then add your desired mix-ins.
Bake: Pour oatmeal mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until edges are golden and middle is set.
Serve: Allow oatmeal to rest for 30 minutes before serving if you'd like bars. Or feel free to serve with a spoon immediately. Add favorite toppings like nut butter, blueberries, chocolate chips and/or maple syrup.

Notes

Sugar – I did not include any added sugar in this recipe because I used very brown bananas. The more brown your bananas, the sweeter this baked oatmeal will be. If you’re using unsweetened milk and your bananas are not over ripe, I would suggest adding 2-3 tablespoons of brown sugar to bananas while mashing. OR you could just serve with a little maple syrup. Adjust according to your sweetness preference!

Milk – Feel free to use your choice of milk here. Whether you use cow's milk, goat's milk or a dairy-free alternative. For a richer flavor, you could also do part half & half or canned coconut milk.

Half the recipe – For a smaller batch, cut the ingredients in half, mix as directed and bake in a 8x4 medium loaf pan; 375ºF for 20-25 minutes.

Double the recipe – To feed a crowd, double the ingredients and mix as directed; bake in a 9x13 pan for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden.

Mix-Ins – Feel free to do a combo of any of these mix-ins as well. For example, blueberries + walnuts. Or blueberries + peanut butter. Or include peanut butter in all three variations. This recipe is a great base – have fun with it!
