Step 1

Watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and grease a 6x9 inch (15x23 cm) or similar size baking pan with oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the two bananas with a fork. Add in peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Pour in the plant-based milk gradually and stir with a whisk. Also, add in the ground chia seeds and immediately whisk to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the spices, baking powder, and salt. Also, add in the oats in batches and stir with a spatula. You can now also add chopped nuts or seeds of choice (I used walnuts).

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. You can top the oatmeal with 2 additional thinly sliced bananas (optional). Bake for about 35-40 minutes (depending on the size of the pan) or until the oatmeal is set and golden brown.

Step 6

Remove, and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, drizzle with peanut butter and/or maple syrup, and top with chopped nuts if you like. Enjoy!

Step 7

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
