Banana Berry Breakfast Slice -

Banana Berry Breakfast Slice

This is sort of a cross between a baked pancake and baked oatmeal. It makes such a hearty but easy breakfast, packed with nutrient rich ingredients.

Servings

50 g butter melted
2 small bananas mashed
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup wholemeal spelt flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup frozen berries
handful of nuts to sprinkle on top eg flaked or slivered almonds chopped walnuts or pecans

Pre-heat oven to 170C fan-forced. Line a slice tin with baking paper.
Combine all ingredients except berries in a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Carefully stir through berries.
Pour into prepared tin, sprinkle nuts on top and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until firm and golden.
Serve topped with yoghurt and fresh fruit with a drizzle of extra maple syrup if you like.

Leftovers reheat well and are also great served cold and packed into lunchboxes for a school snack.

You can use any kind of berries for this - fresh or frozen.

You can sub berries for other fruits too - eg stone fruit in summer, or finely diced apple or pear in winter.

If you can't eat nuts, or want to send this in lunchboxes, simply use more seeds on top instead.

Hemp seeds can be found in supermarkets. If you don't have them, you can add extra chia, or LSA or flaxmeal or almond meal.

A different flour can also be used. If you can, choose a wholemeal flour.

You can choose any milk you like.

Honey can be subbed for maple syrup.

Coconut oil can be subbed for butter.
