Instrucțiuni

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 11-inch baking pan.

Peel the bananas, place them in the baking pan and mash with a form until a smooth puree form.

Add chia seeds, cinnamon or vanilla if used, rolled oats, almond milk, and peanut butter.

Stir with a fork until evenly combined.

Fold in frozen berries or peanuts and chocolate, or apples and pecan. Stir to evenly incorporate.

Bake the oatmeal for 20-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until set but still moist in the center. You can bake it longer if you prefer a dryer oatmeal texture, it's up to you.

Let it cool down in the pan for 20 minutes then serve lukewarm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dust of cinnamon, or almond milk/yogurt for extra moisture.

Note

Note 1: Pick 1 cup unsweetened applesauce if you are making the apple baked oatmeal flavor. Use mashed banana for the berry or snickers flavor.

Note 2: You can swap the peanut butter for almond butter, sunflower seed butter if you have nut allergies, or plain yogurt of choice like coconut yogurt or Greek-style soy yogurt.

Note 3: Rolled or quick oats work. Quick oats absorb more liquid, and bake faster it means you should decrease baking time by 5-8 minutes.

Note 4: You can use your favorite plant-based milk, like almond milk, cashew milk, or oat milk.

Note 5: You can use fresh or frozen berries, no need to thaw. The best options are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries.

Storage: Store the remaining baked oats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in its baking pan, wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent the oatmeal from drying. You can also freeze this banana blueberry baked oatmeal in an airtight container and thaw it in the fridge the day before. Rewarm one serving in the microwave, in a microwave-safe breakfast bowl, until lukewarm.
