INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water. Give it a stir. Set aside for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add in the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Give it a stir until combined. Add in the flax egg mixture. Stir again.
Add to the mixing bowl the oats, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and almonds. Stir until combined.
Slice the strawberries. Gently fold in the strawberries and blueberries.
Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 12 inch (23 x 31 cm) baking dish. If it is a metal pan, you’ll want to lightly coat the pan with oil.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is nice and golden. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the peanut butter on top before serving.
I prefer this oatmeal fresh out of the oven. You can also serve this at room temperature.
NOTES
Notes
You can make this baked oatmeal nut free by substituting the almonds with pumpkin seeds and omitting the nut butter on top.This baked oatmeal makes great leftovers and keeps for about 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can slice the baked oatmeal into individual portions and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
