Banana Bread Baked Oats with Sneaky Tofu
These ridiculously good banana bread baked oats have the flavour you crave with a ton of nutrition baked in from fiber-rich rolled oats, lots of bananas and even a bit of sneaky soft tofu (you won’t taste it!).
Equipment
- Blender an immersion blender would work too!
Ingredients
- 4 medium very ripe bananas
- 1 cup soft tofu or sub protein-rich milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup use ⅓ cup if your bananas aren't super ripe
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats do NOT use quick oats
- ½ cup walnuts finely chopped, optional
- ¼ cup dark chocolate mini chips optional
For even more protein, minerals and omega 3s
- ½ cup hemp hearts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (176℃). Line an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with parchment. Make sure the parchment comes up at least two sides for easy removal and clean up.
- In a medium bowl - or directly in the baking pan - mix together the oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. (and hemp hearts if using!)
- In a blender, add the bananas, tofu, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Starting on low, blend, increasing to high until the mixture is liquified, about 30-45 seconds total.
- Pour the banana base over the oat mixture, stir and pour into the baking pan.
- Bake for 34-38 minutes, until top and edges look firm.
- Cool 5 minutes and then slice into 6 portions. Enjoy!
