Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened oat milk or milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups gluten-free quick oats or rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla or chocolate
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking dish
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oatmeal bakes evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. This will serve as the sweet base for your oatmeal.
  3. Add the eggs, oat milk, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir the dry mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, or store for later!

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
