Ingredients

  • 1/2 banana mashed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, add banana first and mash with fork. Add rolled oats, milk of choice, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, baking powder, molasses, spices and salt. Mix everything together and allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes, to allow the oats to absorb some moisture.
  • Pour oats into a greased ramekin (10-12oz ramekin recommended, like this one) and smooth into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove baked oats from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before enjoying. Top with Christmas sprinkles to add more festivity or a nut butter on top (optional).
