Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium-sized ripe banana, mashed (50 g or 1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened almond milk*
• 1 Tbsp (16 g) nut butter** (optional, but recommended)
• 1 tsp (5 ml) maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 slice of hearty bread, cubed***
• 1/4 cup (20 g) quick oats

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease an individually-sized oven-safe dish. Set aside.
• Combine banana, almond milk, nut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large shallow bowl, mixing until fully combined. Pour bread cubes into the mixture and use a fork to lightly press down so that they absorb most of the liquid. Add oats and gently stir until everything is evenly incorporated. If the mix seems too dry, add a splash of extra milk.
• Transfer mixture to your prepared dish, adding a few slices of banana on top if desired. Bake for 20 minutes, until the bake has set and the top has turned golden brown.
• Remove from oven and top with toppings of choice or simply enjoy as is!
