Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats
1/2 cup oat flour *
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup ripe banana about 2 medium ones
1 1/4 cup oat milk or other milk of preference
2 flax eggs or regular eggs **
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease or line 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (mashed bananas, maple syrup, flax eggs, and milk). Then add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt). Combine gently with a spatula.
Fold in about 1/2 cup strawberries (save some for topping) and all the sliced almonds.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and chocolate chips on top (optional). Bake 30 - 35 min or until a toothpick comes out clean, but still soft to touch.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes then take it out on a cooling rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

*If you don't have oat flour, you can replace the oat flour with 1/3 cup gluten-free oats. Bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes. It will be a little on the denser side. But still chewy and yummy!
You can make your own oat flour by blending the rolled oats in a high-speed blender.
** To make flax "eggs", mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds and 4 tablespoons of filtered water or dairy-free milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes to "gel" up.
