If you're a banana bread lover and are looking for a healthy breakfast then you need to make these Banana Bread Baked Oats. They're like eating dessert for breakfast but with no added sugar, just natural sweetness from the bananas!
Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F (conventional). Grease a small baking dish (20cm x 20 cm or 30cm x 16cm for oval) with olive oil.
Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash. To the mashed banana add the eggs, soy milk, olive oil and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Next, add the rolled oats and whey protein powder. Sieve in the baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir to create a batter.
Tip the batter into the prepared baking dish and top with the chopped walnuts. Place into the preheated oven on the middle shelf and bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through when a skewer is inserted into the centre.
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm. Serve topped with a dollop of your favourite yoghurt, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup.
