Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup sugar (which can be white, brown, sugar-free sweetener, or maple syrup alternative)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
2 large eggs (or 1 mashed banana for a vegan option)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy such as almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter, coconut oil, or butter)
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
2-Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl: rolled oats, quick oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice. Stir well to blend spices evenly.
3-Whisk the wet ingredients in another bowl: eggs (or mashed banana), milk, vanilla extract, and almond butter. Get it smooth and combined.
4-Combine both mixtures until a thick batter forms. If it seems too thick, add a splash of extra milk. Do not overmix.
5-Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top gently.
6-Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center. Edges should pull away slightly.
7-Allow to cool fully before adding any frosting or glaze. Patience here ensures clean slices.
