Equipment

Ingredients

¼ cup coconut oil
2 ¾ cups old fashioned rolled oats *NOT quick oats or steel-cut
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups unsweetened milk of choice (I used almond milk)
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium bananas), plus extra slices for topping
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins: blueberries, walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips, cinnamon chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted.
Add oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Stir until mixed together and coated in the coconut oil.
Pour in milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add optional mix-ins, if desired, or keep as plain banana. Stir to combine.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Smooth the top and add additional banana slices, if desired.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cut into 6 rectangular pieces or 12 smaller pieces. Serve warm with an additional drizzle of maple syrup over top.
