Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp refined coconut oil (or vegetable oil), melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
1 ripe banana (for topping), sliced

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
2

In a large bowl, combine 3 mashed very ripe bananas, 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk), 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp melted refined coconut oil (or vegetable oil), and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
3

Add 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant), 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp fine salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly combined. Fold in three-quarters of the 1/2 cup roughly chopped walnut halves.
4

Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange 1 sliced ripe banana (for topping) slices over the top and scatter the remaining walnut halves over everything.
5

Bake for 33 to 38 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set - it should not jiggle when you gently shake the pan. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
6

Serve warm, scooped into bowls. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 4 days.
