INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup old fashioned oats

• 1 cup oat flour (oat flour is just blended oats)

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 cup milk (I used my vanilla bean coconut milk recipe)

• 1 cup water

• 1 flax egg (1 T flax meal + 3 T water, let gel up), can substitute egg

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

• 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

• 1 ribe banana, mashed

• 1 ripe banana, sliced

• 1 1/2 cup strawberries

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375° and line 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

2. Make flax egg so it has time to set up. Combine dry ingredients : oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

3. Combine wet ingredients : milk, water (see notes), flax egg, coconut oil, vanilla bean paste and mashed banana.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Fold in 1 cup of strawberries and add to 8x8 baking pan.

5. Top with remaining 1/2 cup strawberries and sliced banana.

6. Bake for 60 minutes or more. (see notes)

7. Enjoy warm, cold or reheated. Add some coconut yogurt, fresh berries and maple syrup for a win!

NOTES

• If you are using a milk that is more on the watery side (like almond milk) I recommend using 2 cups of milk instead of the water.

• The cook time is different for me every time. It usually takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes but has set up within 60 minutes before. Just keep your eye on it and make sure the middle is set. If you like a runnier, milky oatmeal cook for less. If you want it more in bar form cook for 60+ minutes.

Hope you guys try this one.

The perfect big batch, quick and easy breakfast option that is good for you and delicious.
