Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a small casserole dish (mine is equivalent to an 8×8 inch pan).

Mash your banana directly in the baking dish. Top with the oats, chia seeds, and milk. Mix to combine.

Add in the sprinkles and stir one more time to combine.

Bake for 25 minutes until the oatmeal is set. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup or top with your favorite frosting (I used a store bought vegan buttercream!). ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mash Banana Thoroughly 🍌
Mash the banana until completely smooth to ensure even distribution throughout the oats and create a naturally sweet, creamy texture without lumps.
Don't Skip the Soaking Step ⏱️
Let the oat mixture sit for 5-10 minutes after combining ingredients before baking to allow the oats to absorb liquid evenly and achieve a tender, cake-like consistency.
Toast Chia Seeds First 🌟
Lightly toast the chia seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming gelatinous during baking.
Use Individual Baking Dishes 🎂
Portion the mixture into individual ramekins or small baking dishes for more even baking, better portion control, and a more elegant presentation for birthday celebrations.
Top with Sprinkles at the End 🎉
Add sprinkles in the final 2-3 minutes of baking so they slightly soften and adhere to the oats without melting completely, preserving their festive appearance and celebratory appeal.
