Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats so you get a heartier baked oatmeal.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding to the wet mixture so everything gets evenly distributed.
  • The riper the banana the sweeter it is which makes for great vegan banana muffins. You want a banana that has black/brown spots on the peel.
  • You can adjust the sweetness level by adding or taking away sugar in tablespoon increments.
  • Don’t skip out on roasting the walnuts. By roasting them they will stay crispy in the batter and bring out the flavor.
  • Add ¼ cup chocolate chips to the banana baked oatmeal if you want additional flavor.
