Vegan Baked Oats

Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch of salt
Toppings of your choice (e.g., fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, coconut flakes)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe ramekin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekin and spread it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the oats are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. The oats will firm up as they cool.
Once cooled, you can add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, or coconut flakes.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious and sugar-free vegan baked oats!
Note: Feel free to adjust the sweetness and flavors to your liking by adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup or a few drops of stevia if desired. You can also add other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for additional flavor variations.
