Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then, mix in the plant-based milk and maple syrup until fully blended.
  4. Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and layer sliced bananas on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is lightly golden and set.
  7. Allow the dish to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
