Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking dish
- High-Speed Blender
- Large Mixing Bowls
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (blended from rolled oats)
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats whole
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 ripe mashed bananas
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
Walnut Streusel Topping
- 0.25 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cup monk fruit brown sugar or regular brown sugar
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray. Blend 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats into a fine flour using a high-speed blender and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of whole rolled oats, the 1 cup of oat flour you just made, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla protein powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then, whisk in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and almond milk. Pour this wet mixture into your dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- For the streusel, combine the ¼ cup rolled oats, chopped walnuts, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, monk fruit brown sugar, and melted coconut oil in a food processor. Pulse a few times until you achieve a crumbly, textured mixture resembling wet sand.
- Pour the oatmeal batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Generously sprinkle the walnut streusel mixture all over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
- Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or fresh summer berries.
