Servings: 9
Ingredients
Wet
- 1 medium ripe banana smashed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened oat milk
Dry
- 1.5 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Tres Leches
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup 2 % milk
- ¼ cup oat milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl until combined.
- Then, whisk all of the wet ingredients into a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix.
- Transfer the batter to a baking dish and bake at 350ºF for about 30 minutes or until the top begins to brown. If the middle of the oatmeal bake isn’t baking, cover the bake with tin foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let the oatmeal bake cool for 5 minutes.
- While the oatmeal bake is cooling, heat all of the ingredients for the tres leches in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and then remove from heat.
- Slice the oatmeal bake into squares and serve in a bowl with 1-2 tablespoons of the tres leches. Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or vanilla Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Storage: store the tres leches sauce separately from the oatmeal bake. Reheat both the oatmeal bake and the sauce before serving.
- Be sure to use quick-cooking oats. This recipe has been tested with rolled oats and it changes the texture and cook time completely.
