Ingredients
Method
- Stir the flaxseed meal with 5 tbsp water in a medium bowl and let thicken 5 minutes. Whisk in the mashed banana, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla.
- Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until no dry spots remain.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish and smooth the top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, until golden and the center is just set. Cool 5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Let the oatmeal rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing; it firms up as it cools. For a fruity twist, scatter 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries over the top before baking. This recipe freezes well for up to 3 months—wrap individual squares tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge.
