I like to think of this as a cross between oatmeal and a muffin. It's packed with nutrients from the fruit, flaxseed, oats, and nuts... and it's vegan! I purposely use less sweetener so that it can be eaten warm and drizzled with maple syrup or agave. so that it also makes a nutritious and satisfying on-the-go breakfast. Since this holds it's shape when cut, it also makes a perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds |
6 tablespoons water |
2 cups rolled oats |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 -3 ripe bananas, mashed |
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or soy milk) |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons agave nectar (or maple syrup) |
1/2 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh) |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix flax with water and set aside (it will thicken upon standing 5-10min).
3. In a bowl mix oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl add mashed banana, milk, vanilla, agave and flax mixture. Stir to thoroughly combine and then add to oat mixture. Stir everything together.
5. Pour half the batter into a lightly greased 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle blueberries and nuts over it and then pour remain batter over, smoothing out as needed.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes so it can set. You can cut this into 6. Or 4 large servings if you prefer.
