Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the mashed banana, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- If using, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats are set.
- Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) and ensure the sweetener is vegan-friendly (maple syrup works great!).
Frozen blueberries are a perfect substitute for fresh ones – just fold them in gently to avoid discolouring the oats.
This recipe can easily be made ahead of time; just prepare the oat mixture the night before and bake it in the morning.
