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 plant-based milk (I've used soy milk)
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.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and all milk has evaporated.
Slice off a piece and serve with dairy-free yoghurt or coconut whipped cream and your favorite toppings!

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.

Add 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.

Storage - 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.

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.
