Notes

The perfect way to use up your ripe bananas. This banana bread inspired baked oatmeal is a healthy and delicious vegan breakfast!
Banana bread is a favourite amongst guests in our house. Making a banana bread baked oatmeal is even easier than putting together banana bread itself. The best part is, this delicious recipe is vegan, incredibly nutritious, and filling.  Although it takes 35 minutes to bake, it only takes 5 minutes of hands-on prep! Baked oatmeal is the perfect dish to serve to hungry guests at breakfast. 
Banana - If you've ever made banana bread you know that the riper the banana the better the bread. Overripe bananas are sweeter and more flavourful than their green counterparts.
Tip: Once bananas turn brown, peel them and place them in an airtight container in the freezer.  Whenever you need ripe bananas for a recipe, just thaw them and they are ready to use! 
Oats: Use quick oats or rolled oats for this recipe.
Oats should be gluten free, which makes this oatmeal bake recipe gluten free! Always double check that the oats are made in a gluten free facility if gluten is a concern. 
Plant Milk: Any plain, or vanilla flavoured plant milk can be used in this recipe. Almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, and oat milk are the most popular choices. 
Flax Seeds: Ground flax seeds are used in place of eggs in this recipe. They act as a thickening, binding agent as well they add fiber and omegas. 
Hemp Hearts: Hemp hearts are optional in this oatmeal bake. However I like to add them for extra protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. They also add a beautiful nutty flavour, which goes perfectly with bananas!
Chocolate Chunks: Dark vegan chocolate chunks are my personal favourite in this oatmeal bake. However, if you don't want chocolate, 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts can be used instead. 
Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks are my absolute favourite and they are made in an allergy safe facility!
