Finally putting my over ripe bananas to use with this delicious Banana Nut Baked Oatmeal. This baked oatmeal is full of whole grains rich in fiber, protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, a ton of essential vitamins and minerals, and uses zero refined sugars making it the perfect sweet treat to start my mornings (and also makes for great leftovers!) *ps if you have a good high speed blender like a Vitamix the homemade cashew milk is super creamy and makes all of the difference.

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1 ripe banana mashed

2 cups nut milk * I like using homemade cashew milk (1 cup raw cashews + 3 cups hot water blended on high for 5 mins)

1/4 cup raw maple syrup 

1/4 cup sliced almonds (raw)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (raw)

1.5 tbsp chia seeds

1.5 tbsp flaxseed meal

1 scoop collagen powder (can exclude if desired)
