Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 eggs sub flax eggs if needed
- 1 cup milk of choice dairy free if needed!
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup hemp hearts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well, no need to thaw frozen berries first.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to help keep the baked oatmeal tender.
- Bake just until the center is set to prevent it from drying out.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing so the squares hold together better.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Delicious served warm, cold, or topped with Greek yogurt or nut/seed butter for extra protein.
