I have been trying to expand my breakfast recipe book to provide more options to my clients and this one is a perfect fit!! We had friends visiting and I made this to have available for an easy breakfast. I also hard boiled some eggs for the side. It was so easy and was a hit!!
With anything oatmeal based, I try to add protein where I can to make it a more balanced meal. You’ll see Greek yogurt in this recipe for that reason. Also, like I said, having eggs on the side is a great addition too!
Here is the recipe:
Banana Coffee Oatmeal Bake
Ingredients:
3 cups dry oats
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 cup almond butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/8 cup applesauce
1/8 cup maple syrup
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup coffee
4 ripe bananas, mashed
How to:
Preheat oven to 350F
Mix oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl
In a large bowl, mash bananas and stir in almond butter. Add vanilla, eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, yogurt, and coffee. Add oat mixture and mix well.
Spread in a 9x13 pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
I separated into 9 servings. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container!
