Calories: 266kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond butter or nut butter of choice
- 2 large eggs or 2 flax eggs for vegan*
- ½ cup non-dairy milk of choice **
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup optional***
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup fresh blueberries + more for topping****
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a 9” x 9” baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until most of the chunks are out. Add in the almond butter (or nut butter of choice), eggs, milk, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract and mix well until everything is combined.
- Add the oats, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to the bowl with the egg mixture and stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined.
- Stir the blueberries into the breakfast bake batter.
- Transfer the blueberry banana oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer. If you’d like, add extra blueberries on top.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes or until the breakfast bake has set up and is slightly golden brown on top.
- Allow the breakfast bake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
*Replace the eggs with two flax eggs to make this recipe egg-free and vegan. To do so, stir 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water in a mixing bowl. Allow this mixture to sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mixture resembles the consistency of beaten eggs.
**I often use full-fat canned coconut milk which brings a great deal of richness to the oatmeal cups, but soy milk, unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk work great too. You can also use cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
***If you know you like sweeter baked goods, add 2-4 tablespoons of brown sugar (or regular cane sugar, sugar-free sweetener, or coconut sugar) in addition to the pure maple syrup.
***Replace the blueberries with chopped strawberries, raspberries, or chocolate chips if you’d like!
