Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • Optional: 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • Optional: 1 tbsp flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch or similar baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or peanut butter.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and edges are slightly crisp.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use almond, oat, or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Add protein powder for a high-protein variation.
  • Replace maple syrup with mashed dates or date syrup if desired.
  • Use flax eggs for a vegan option (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).
  • Store leftovers in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
