Equipment

  • 1 8x8 Pan or 9x9

Ingredients

  • 1-2 Ripe Bananas (1 large or 2 small)
  • 2 1/2 C Berries (if using frozen you must defrost and simmer first to drain the excess water about 8 minutes) I used a mix of blueberry, raspberry and blackberry
  • 2 C Oats, must be certified gluten free and organic to be considered anti-inflammatory
  • 2 C Almond milk, nut milk or oat milk that doesn't contain sunflower oil or gums. Rice milk will also work. Organic is best
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 C Pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 C Applesauce (unsweetened) or 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp Baking powder

Optional protein

  • 1-2 Scoops Vegan protein powder, preferably a naked pea protein with no fillers

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 375 F.
  • In the baking dish combine the smashed banana, berries, oats, baking powder and cinnamon
  • Add the milk, maple syrup, apple sauce (or egg) and vanilla. Mix until combined
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes until the center is cooked and the top is golden
  • Allow to cool completely about 2 hours or cool for 1 hour and then refrigerate. Once it's been completely cooled or refrigerated for 1-2 hours you can neatly cut them into bars.
  • *Optional: For extra protein serve with dairy free yogurt that has protein
    For more of a dessert: Add coconut whipped cream
