Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or regular milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick.
- Mash bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth to create a natural sweetness base.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the almond milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the mashed bananas. Whisk or stir until well combined, creating a uniform mixture.
- Incorporate oats: Stir in the rolled oats, making sure they are fully combined with the wet ingredients for an even texture throughout the bake.
- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out to create a uniform layer for even baking.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Cool and slice: Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool slightly to set before slicing into squares for serving.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or refrigerate the slices for a convenient and tasty breakfast option later.
Notes

- For extra texture, consider adding nuts or dried fruit into the batter before baking.
- This bake keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; reheat slices briefly before serving.
- To keep it vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs, though texture may vary slightly.
