Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened plant milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup (50 grams) Chia seeds
- 1 cup (90 grams) whole rolled oats
- 1 cup (90 grams) Oat flour (made by blending 1 cup of rolled oats to a fine powder)
- 1 cup (148 grams) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
Optional additions:
- 1 cup (120 grams) chopped walnuts or pecans
- ½ cup (90 grams) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish or one of a similar size.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with plant milk, smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, and the juice and zest of one lemon. Stir well.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, whisk in the baking powder and sea salt until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the whole rolled oats and oat flour, followed by the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top to create an even layer. If using, sprinkle the optional chopped walnuts or pecans and dark chocolate chips over the mixture. Add an extra layer of blueberries for a burst of flavor and color.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. The baked oats are ready when the top is golden and crisp, and the center has set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Lemon Blueberry Baked Oats to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps the oats to set, making them easier to cut and serve.
- Serve topped with some plant-based yogurt and an extra drizzle of nut butter.
