Baked Oatmeal Squares
- 1 cup very ripe banana mashed and packed, about 2 large
- 1/2 cup natural almond butter
- 1/2 cup 1% reduced sodium cottage cheese
- 1 egg white
- 2 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Almond Sauce and Topping
- 1/2 cup very ripe banana about 1 large
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp natural almond butter
- 1 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/2 cup freeze dried bananas crushed
Instructions
Baked Oatmeal Squares
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 8x8” baking dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed banana, almond butter, cottage cheese, egg white, honey, and almond milk.
- In a larger bowl, mix together the oats, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with tacky sticky bits attached (you don’t want it to be dry, you want it to remain relatively moist). Allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
Almond Sauce and Topping
- Puree the banana, almond milk, almond butter and honey in a food processor until very smooth.
- Transfer to a small saucepot and heat over low until warmed through.
Assembly
- Top the squares of oatmeal with almond sauce and crushed freeze-dried banana.
