Bananabread baked oats
Oatmeal is incredibly versatile but has little flavor of its own, it just has a certain texture. This makes oatmeal a good base product to make yummy things with. Earlier we shared with you a recipe for homemade granola that you easily make with oatmeal but now we are happy to share with you a baked oats recipe. Before we do that, we will of course explain to you what baked oats are.

Baked oats?
Baked oats is the English name for baked oatmeal. Yet in most cases only the English term is used, why? Unfortunately, when they think of warm oatmeal, most Dutch people still think of the lukewarm oatmeal of yesteryear. Believe me, baked oats are far from the porridge of yesteryear. What made this recipe's baked oats so delicious? Obviously our freeze-dried fruit (powder) but also the structure of the baked oats is unique. In fact, it has the texture of a cake, but without the amount of butter and many sugars.

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.
