Baked Oatmeal Banana Bites Recipe – Vegan & Gluten Free Too!

Ingredients

1 Ripe Banana Mashed
1/2 cup Dry Oats
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup NuNaturals Stevia Baking Blend (you can use white sugar)
1 tsp of Cinnamon
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp of Baking Soda
Optional 1/2 tbsp Slivered Almonds, Flax or Chia Seeds
1 Scoop of Whey Crisps

Directions

First, mash the banana with a fork. Next, add the rest of the dry ingredients. Next, mix it all together. You will not need any extra liquid but if you feel like you need it, add some water or unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I didn’t need any for my batch. Now, preheat the oven to 375F. Let the oats soak up some liquid. The longer the better but I only let mine sit for about 20 minutes. You can use muffin liners for easy clean up or not, I did not since I have mini muffin pans. You should have enough batter. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and let cool. Time to enjoy! You can add chocolate chips and omit the cinnamon or add raisins or other dried fruit if you like.
