Chocolate Banana Baked Oatmeal Recipes

CHOCOLATE BANANA BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F, and prepare an 8×8" baking pan by either greasing it well with coconut oil, or lining it with parchment paper.
• Using a large bowl, combine the flaxseed and water. Mix well and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Add the remainder of the ingredients to the bowl and mix well to combine, leaving the collagen for last. Stir well to make sure the collagen is well incorporated and mostly dissolved into the almond milk.
• Pour the contents into the prepared baking pan. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The baked oatmeal should be firm, and no longer liquid.
• Allow to cool before slicing and enjoying. Store in the fridge in glass Tupperware to enjoy later. If reheating, add a splash of almond milk if desired.

• Tip: If you're only going to purchase one kind of oatmeal, you should buy the old-fashioned or large-flake oatmeal. To turn them into the "quick-cooking" oatmeal called for in this recipe, pulse them in a food processor, or place in a resealable plastic bag and rub them between your hands until they're broken into small bits.
