Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your One Bowl Vegan Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal bakes evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Make sure there are no large chunks left for a uniform texture.
- Add the 2 cups of rolled oats to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
- Pour in 2 cups of almond milk and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Mix until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be somewhat liquidy but thick enough to hold together.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir again until all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined with the wet mixture.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Grease a baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches) with a bit of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help it set up a bit more.
- Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your One Bowl Vegan Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal as a delicious breakfast or snack!
