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
  • Powdered Sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the fat-free milk, Greek yogurt, and almond extract, and combine well.
  2. Whisk Egg: In a separate small bowl, crack the egg and whisk until smooth. Add about two-thirds of this beaten egg to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add oat flour, old fashioned oats, baking powder, salt, and vanilla protein powder to the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until you achieve a smooth batter.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Make Frangipane Almond Cream: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, vanilla protein powder, the remaining beaten egg, almond extract, and milk. Mix well until smooth.
  6. Add Almond Cream to Batter: Drop dollops of the frangipane mixture on top of the oat batter. Using a spoon or knife, swirl the almond cream into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top for added crunch.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, cut into 6 squares, and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful almond croissant-inspired baked oats.

Notes

  • You can substitute fat-free milk with any plant-based milk if preferred.
  • Ensure your banana is ripe for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s heat distribution.
  • For extra richness, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the wet ingredients.
