This vegan baked oats recipe makes an easy and versatile breakfast or snack dish! They're perfect to make ahead for those weeks when you need something decadent and delicious yet healthy and easy to grab on the go.
In a large bowl, mash up the bananas. Then add the peanut butter, maple syrup, milk, flax, baking powder, vanilla, salt, oats, and oat flour. Mix everything well until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Note: I love chocolate chips, so I like to add ¾ cup, but if you want a little bit less, add just ½ cup.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. I used a 9 x 9 inch baking tray.
Pour the oat mixture into the baking tray. Add more chocolate chips on top if you wish.
Bake the oats for 25-28 minutes at 350*F.
Notes
Feel free to use less chocolate chips! I'm a chocolate lover so I've included a few extras but you can easily get away with just a half cup.
Get creative! This recipe is super flexible and forgiving so feel free to add in other mix-ins you enjoy. Just be sure to check the sections above for some suggested swaps and variations for the best results.
