Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large large spotty banana (mashed) Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
  • ½ cup creamy all-natural peanut butter Can be substituted with almond butter.
  • 3 tbsp real maple syrup (or honey) Adjust sweetness as desired.
  • 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk or oat milk Use oat milk for a nut-free option.
  • 1 large egg Or use 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp warm water for a vegan option.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats Ensure oats are certified gluten-free if needed.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, milk, egg (or flaxseed mixture), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix until combined.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and optional ground flaxseed. If the batter is too stiff, add a splash of milk.
  4. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Baking

  2. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. For a little extra delight, drizzle with peanut butter and garnish with banana slices if desired.
