Ingredients

  • 4 bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F..
  2. To a blender or food processor add oats. Pulse until oats are finely ground and resemble a flour consistency. Set aside.

  5. Add in ground oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Using a spatula, mix until wet and dry ingredients are completely combined!
