Description
A perfect healthy breakfast option that is filling but also yummy. It tastes like a crumbly banana bread mixed with a crispy baked oat bar, and is great to make on the weekend ready for the busy week ahead!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-size ripe bananas (see preparation tips above)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup nut butter (see preparation tips above)
- 3 tablespoons rice malt syrup, or you can substitute with another liquid sweetener such as honey or maple syrup (see preparation tips above)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, you may wish to add if your bananas are not very ripe yet (i.e still quite yellow)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (or 360 degrees F)
- Grease a small oven tray with butter (roughly 20 cm x 20 cm or 8″x8″)
- In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas and mash well with a masher or fork until there are no large lumps.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the mashed bananas and mix well (mixture should be a sloppy consistency)
- Pour mixture into greased oven tray and place in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. The top of the oatmeal should be crisp.
Notes
*Once you have made this ahead of time, you can reheat a portion for breakfast (one fifth of the batch) by placing in the microwave for 40-50 seconds.
*You may also like to add extra fruit, yoghurt, seeds or other toppings as desired.
