Equipment

1 large bowl
1 9-inch square ovenproof dish

Ingredients

2 bananas (ideally ripe and spotty)
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if needed (can use quick cook if preferred)
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups your favourite dairy-free milk (I've used soy)
3 tablespoon maple syrup (can be omitted for a low sugar sweetener, or increased if you have a sweet tooth)
1 cup your favourite berries (I've used blueberries) plus more to decorate top of oatmeal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or cinnamon (optional)

Optional - to add protein

2 scoops your favourite protein powder
¼ cup hemp seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.
In a large bowl, mash bananas with hands or a fork.
Add in all other ingredients and mix well to combine.
Pour into a large ovenproof dish, and press extra berries into the top to decorate.
Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden and all milk has evaporated.
Slice off a piece and serve with dairy-free yoghurt or coconut whipped cream, extra berries and your favourite nut butter!

Notes

Substitutions

Banana - 1 cup applesauce or pumpkin puree can be used instead of 2 bananas.

Berries - feel free to use whichever berries you like, or if preferred use ½-1 cup chocolate chips or nuts. Berries can also be omitted entirely if you want a plain baked oatmeal.

Maple syrup - can be omitted or switched for any other liquid sweetener, or erythritol, stevia or monkfruit for a low sugar version.

Adding Protein

Try either of these two methods to increase protein:

Add 2 scoops of your favourite protein powder - stir directly into the mixture, you may need to add more milk if your powder dries the mixture out.

Add ¼ cup hemp seeds - stir these directly into the mixture.

How to store

This vegan baked oatmeal can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week. Slice into pieces after cooling, store and reheat as needed. (Can be eaten at room temperature or heated.)

It can also be frozen - allow the baked oatmeal to cool, cut into pieces and store in an airtight bag/container. Do not freeze past 3 months.
