Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup oat flour *
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter unsweetened
  • 1 1/4 cup milk of choice I used oat milk
  • 2 flax eggs or regular eggs **
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 - 3 tbsp coconut sugar ***

Optional Ingredient

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Bananas and peanut butter for toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, flax eggs, and milk).
  • Then add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, sea salt, and coconut sugar). Whisk together.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients gently with a spatula.
  • Fold in pecans and chocolate chips if using any.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and chocolate chips on top (optional). Bake 28 - 33 min or until toothpick comes out clean, but the top is 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

  1. *If you don't have oat flour in hand, you can make your own by blending rolled oats in a high-speed blender.
  2. ** 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 5- 7 minutes to "gel" up.
  3. *** If you prefer sweeter, use up to 3 - 4 tbsp coconut sugar to your taste.
