1 tsp baking powder approx. 4g
⅛ tsp salt approx. 0.25g

1 tsp vanilla extract approx. 5ml
1 large banana overripe, mashed; approx. ½ cup or 113g
2 cups frozen blueberries approx. 284g

To serve

coconut yoghurt for serving
fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, cinnamon, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and chopped walnuts.
In a separate medium bowl or large measuring jug, whisk together the plant-based milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and mashed banana.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined to form a thick batter.
Scatter half of the frozen blueberries into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the oat mixture on top and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the surface.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center feels set.
Serve warm, topped with coconut yogurt and sliced strawberries if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.

Notes

Note - if you'd like to bake this in ramekins, reduce the bake time to 20-25 minutes as the smaller size means they will cook through faster. You can test if they are done by inserting a skewer or knife in the centre, if the batter is too runny then pop them in for another few minutes.
