Ingredients

Scale

Oats and Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if needed)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large bananas
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (can use any nut or seed butter)

Fruit and Additional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • Optional: Honey or maple syrup (quantity to taste)
  • Optional: Walnuts (for topping and mixing in to taste)
  • Optional: Milk (to adjust batter consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure an easy release after baking.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas then add the rolled oats, almond butter, and optional sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Fold in half of the blueberries gently using a rubber spatula. Adjust the batter consistency by adding milk if it’s too thick or extra oats if it’s too thin.
  3. Transfer and add toppings: Pour the prepared batter into the lined pan, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and optional walnuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
  4. Bake the oatmeal: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by adding or omitting honey or maple syrup according to taste.
  • Almond butter can be substituted with other nut or seed butters.
  • Adding milk helps in achieving the right batter consistency.
