15 min | 35 min | 8 |
3 medium | Banana (s) (2 mashed, 1 sliced) |
4 cup | Oats, large flakes, dry |
4 cup | Almond milk, unsweetened (or prefered milk of choice) |
2 small | Apple (chopped up, skin on) |
2 medium | Egg |
2 tbsp | Maple syrup (or honey) |
1 tsp | Cinnamon |
1 tsp | Vanilla extract, pure (optional) |
1 pinch | Himalayan sea salt |
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
In the baking dish, mash 2 bananas and whisk it with the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener if using.
Stir in oats, chopped apple, and a pinch of salt until well combined and lay the sliced banana on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden.
Let cool slightly before serving. It can be eaten warm, cold, or reheated throughout the week.
Also great to slice and freeze for easy breakfasts or snacks.
This is the base recipe that I use, it always changes depending on how many squishy bananas are laying around, what fruit I have on hand, how many oats are left in the bag, what spices I like. At the retreat there was probably 4 bananas there and a whole bunch of sliced ones that were left, so I used all of those. The bake that day had a more wet consistency because of it.
Add-ins or swaps
You can throw in frozen or fresh berries that you have around, or any other fruits that may be getting a little soft.
Add in nuts or chia seeds for omega 3's or extra fiber.
If you're looking to add more protein to your mornings, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or serve with your favourite greek style yogurt.
Health Perks
Oats are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber shown to help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and support overall cardiovascular health.
Digestive Support - Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fibers keep things moving and feed beneficial gut bacteria.
Naturally Sweet - Ripe bananas, apples, and maple syrup/honey add plenty of sweetness, no refined sugars are needed.
Gluten-Friendly - Use certified gluten-free oats if serving anyone with gluten sensitivity.
P.S. In the coming weeks, I'm going to be sharing a Pumpkin Pie version of this breakfast. Check my website or social media to grab it. :)
