Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 2 medium Ripe Bananas Provides natural sweetness and moisture; applesauce or egg can also substitute.
  • 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk Serves as a dairy-free liquid base; feel free to use any non-dairy milk.
  • 1/4 cup Smooth Almond Butter Adds creaminess and healthy fats; peanut butter can work in its place.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Enhances sweetness; honey or agave syrup are good non-vegan alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil Provides moisture and richness; melted butter can be used instead for non-vegan.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensures the mixture rises; always use fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Infuses warmth and flavor; nutmeg can be a fragrant substitute if preferred.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt Elevates overall flavor; table salt can also be an alternative.
  • 2 cups Whole Rolled Oats Key for texture; avoid instant oats as they will alter the end result.

Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup Chopped Pecans Offers crunch and flavor; omit for a nut-free version or swap for walnuts.
  • 1 cup Blueberries Provides natural sweetness and juiciness; both fresh and frozen blueberries work well.

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Comes in handy for topping, adding sweetness and crunch; optional for a lower-sugar version.
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes Delivers added texture and flavor; can be omitted or replaced with additional nuts.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Mash the banana in a large bowl until smooth. Then, whisk in almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.
  • Add the baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt to the banana mixture. Whisk until combined.
  • Fold in the oats, ¾ cup of chopped pecans, and ½ cup of blueberries gently until everything is well mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly.
  • Top with the remaining blueberries, chopped pecans, brown sugar, and coconut flakes.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is crisp and the center is set. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup.
