Serves: 4½ cups
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cups oats
  • 2 bananas
  • ½ cup hazelnuts, chopped (or any nuts desired)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt the butter (or coconut oil) in a medium sized bowl in the microwave or a medium pot on the stove. Remove from heat source.
  2. Add in the bananas, almond butter, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and mash until smooth (an inversion blender is nice for this).
  3. Fold in the oats and hazelnuts and continue folding until fully and evenly combined.
  4. Dump the mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking tray and space it out evenly. Leave it all together for bigger clumps or spread it out fully. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  5. Store extras in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to a week or the fridge for up to a month.
