Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 100 g Ripe Banana (mashed)
  • 160 ml Fat Free Milk (Mootopia)
  • 75 g 0% Fat Plain Greek Yogurt (Fage)
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 30 g Large Brown Egg (beaten) (Vital Farms)

Dry Ingredients

  • 60 g Oat Flour (H-E-B)
  • 60 g Old Fashioned Oats (Trader Joe’s)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 31 g Vanilla Protein Powder (Quest)

Frangipane Almond Cream

  • 15 g Almond Flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 15 g Vanilla Protein Powder (Quest)
  • 20 g Large Brown Egg (beaten) (Vital Farms)
  • 0.5 tsp Almond Extract
  • 15 ml Fat Free Milk (Mootopia)

Toppings

  • 28 g Sliced Almonds (Fisher)
  • Olive Oil Spray (for greasing)
  • Powdered Sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Add the fat free milk, plain Greek yogurt, and almond extract to the mashed banana and mix well.
  2. Incorporate the Egg: Crack a large brown egg into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add approximately two-thirds of the beaten egg to the wet ingredients mixture and stir to combine evenly.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the oat flour, old fashioned oats, baking powder, pinch of salt, and vanilla protein powder. Then add the dry mixture on top of the wet ingredients and fold gently until you achieve a smooth batter without overmixing.
  4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly spray a baking dish with olive oil spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the oat batter evenly into the prepared dish and spread it out smoothly.
  5. Make the Frangipane Almond Cream: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, vanilla protein powder, the remaining beaten egg, almond extract, and fat free milk. Mix thoroughly until the almond cream is smooth and well blended.
  6. Add the Almond Cream to Batter: Spoon dollops of the frangipane almond cream over the oat batter in the baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a knife to swirl the almond cream gently into the batter for marble effect.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the surface of the batter to add a crunchy texture once baked.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the baked oats are set and lightly golden on top. Oven temperatures may vary so keep an eye on the bake near the 20-minute mark.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove the baked oats from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust the top with powdered sugar before cutting into 6 squares. Serve warm and enjoy the rich almond croissant flavor in a healthy baked oat form.

Notes

  • You can substitute fat free milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free variation.
  • Make sure to mash the banana well for a smooth batter and natural sweetness.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens vary and you want the baked oats to be moist but fully cooked.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the oats and oat flour are certified gluten-free.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
