  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups almond milk
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, plus more for the top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the oatmeal.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: To the same bowl, add the gluten-free rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir all ingredients together until evenly incorporated.
  4. Fold in walnuts: Gently fold the 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts into the oatmeal batter for added crunch and flavor.
  5. Prepare for baking: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle a few more chopped walnuts on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
  6. Bake the oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes. Slice into 9 squares and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite toppings and a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Make sure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • This recipe uses gluten-free oats but you can substitute with regular rolled oats if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or a handful of raisins for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use vegan butter.
