2 cups organic rolled oats

2 tbsp flax meal

2 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp hemp seeds (hulled)

1 ½ cups plant-based milk (unsweetened)

1 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp maple syrup (or date paste, link in Chef’s Notes)

2 medium ripe bananas

2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt (optional)

¾ cup walnuts (chopped)

½ cup organic blueberries

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line four 4” ramekins or an 8” round or square baking dish with parchment paper. (You’ll have to cut or tear the parchment paper to fit in the ramekins. It doesn’t have to be perfect! It just needs to ensure that the oat mixture is touching the parchment paper and not the ramekins where it’ll stick).

Add all of the ingredients, except the walnuts and blueberries, to a food processor or blender and blend until it’s mostly blended (some whole oats left in the mixture are good for texture).

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the walnuts and blueberries.

Transfer the mixture to the ramekins or baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Allow the mixture to cool for 5–10 minutes before enjoying (this will also allow the center to continue baking).
