1 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

1 banana medium, very ripe
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup apple sauce unsweetened
¼ cup maple syrup
⅓ almond milk unsweetened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
½ tsp pumpkin spice
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup dried berries dark chocolate chips, or nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 dish or line it with parchment paper.
Mash the banana thoroughly in a bowl.
Add all wet ingredients to the banana and mix well.
In a separate bowl, add oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. Combine all ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.

Spoon the batter into the prepared dish and smooth evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Use a knife to check the center (avoiding a chocolate chip); the knife should be clean when removed.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes, or pop them in the fridge if you can’t wait that long.
Serve with berries for added freshness.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
