The texture of the oatmeal bake is soft, not crunchy. It has a texture that is similar to a bowl of oatmeal, except the oatmeal sticks together. This makes it easier to cut into slices.
What You’ll Need to Make The Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bake:
Banana: You will need two ripe bananas for this recipe. Bananas sweeten as they ripen and are perfect for baking.
Oats: You will need rolled oats for this recipe. If you are gluten- free, be sure to purchase ‘gluten-free rolled oats’ as there is cross-contamination with regular oats.
Maple Syrup: If possible, use a natural maple syrup that is only made with one ingredient: maple syrup.
Egg: You will need one egg for this recipe. The egg helps hold the oatmeal bake together, which makes it easier to slice into individual servings.
Coconut Oil: The coconut oil also helps the oatmeal bake stay together and adds a little bit of fat to the recipe.
Almond Milk: Use an unsweetened almond milk, which has 0 grams of added sugar. The recipe is sweetened enough by the maple syrup.
Seasoning: Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, and Salt give this oatmeal bake a delicious flavor.
