Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup ground flaxseed Why eat flaxseed?
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup honey
1 cup milk any kind
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 ripe bananas smashed
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flax, baking powder, and salt.
Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and bananas. (Tip: I find it's much easier to throw all of the wet ingredients into the blender instead.)
Combine: Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
Bake: Spread into the dish. Bake until firm around the corners and still a little soft in the middle, about 20-25 minutes. If you like it a little crunchy on top, cook for a few minutes longer.
Serve: Serve warm in bowls with milk poured over the top. We also like fresh berries on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Dairy-Free Option: Use plain dairy-free milk in the recipe.
Gluten-Free Option: Make sure your oats say “gluten-free” on the package.
You can use 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of the banana.
You can use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats in the recipe.
Because this recipe is so easy, it works great to double and freeze like we do in our 1 Hour Freezer Prep Sessions.
Top with nuts like sliced almonds or chopped pecans for additional protein and crunch.
