Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas mashed ¾ of a cup
- 1 large free-range egg
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter melted
- 325 ml / 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
- 190 grams / 2 cups whole rolled oats Old fashioned oats not instant or quick-cook oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional but adds roughly 23 grams of protein
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 55 grams / ¼ cup brown sugar add more to make it sweeter or use an artificial sweetener
- 65 grams /1/3 cup raisins or sultanas
- 30 grams of pecan nuts roughly chopped
- 3 Tbsp Chia seeds
- 1 Tbs ground flax seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Add the chia seeds to the milk and allow it to stand for 15- 20 minutes while your oven preheats. You can do this a little in advance of starting the recipe. This allows for the chia seeds to soften and absorb some of the moisture.
- Add the wet ingredients: mashed banana, egg peanut butter, milk, and vanilla to a bowl or jug and mix to combine.
- In a large bowl add the rest of the ingredients (dry) and give it a mix.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
- Grease or line a 20cm x 20cm (8 X 8 inch) square baking dish with non-stick parchment paper. Decant the mixture into the tin, pressing it into the corners to level it.
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch throughout.
- Allow to cool then remove and cut out 6 - 9 pieces depending on your portion size. Store in the fridge for a week and reheat what you need in the morning for breakfast as needed.
- Any leftovers can be frozen for future use.
- Serve with yoghurt, milk, fresh berries, maple syrup, honey, fresh berries, sliced bananas or anything else you fancy.
