Bananabread baked oats
Havermout is ontzettend veelzijdig maar heeft van zichzelf weinig smaak, het heeft alleen een bepaalde textuur. Dit maakt havermout een goed basisproduct om lekkere dingen mee te maken. Eerder deelde we al een recept voor zelfgemaakte granola met je die je gemakkelijk maakt met havermout maar nu delen we graag een baked oats recept met je. Voordat we dat doen, leggen we je natuurlijk ook nog even uit wat baked oats zijn.

Baked oats?
Baked oats is de Engelse benaming voor gebakken havermout. Toch wordt in de meeste gevallen alleen de Engelse term gebruikt, waarom? Bij warme havermout denken de meeste Nederlanders helaas nog aan de lauwe havermoutpap van vroeger. Geloof me, baked oats lijkt verre van op de pap van vroeger. Wat maakte de baked oats van dit recept zo lekker? Uiteraard ons gevriesdroogde fruit(poeder) maar ook de structuur van de baked oats is uniek. Deze heeft namelijk de structuur van een cake, maar dan zonder de hoeveelheid boter en vele suikers.

Can't wait to make our bananabread baked oats? Take a quick look to see if you have all the ingredients.

You will need this

40 grams of oatmeal flakes or oatmeal flour
½ banana
10 grams of protein powder
10 grams of potent freeze-dried banana powder
60 milliliters of milk
teaspoon of cinnamon (or two)
½ tablespoon baking powder
5 slices of freeze-dried banana
5 grams of dark chocolate

If you do not have protein powder you can also omit it, add 10 grams of extra oatmeal (flour). If desired, you can also add a little honey for flavor but it is not necessary.

Do you use oatmeal flakes? Then the texture will be a bit coarser. When using oatmeal flour, you get even more the texture of cake. No flour at home? Then put the oatmeal flakes in the food processor for a while.

This recipe makes one serving of bananabread baked oats. Want to make multiple servings? Then double the amount of the above ingredients by the number of servings you want to make.
