1 flax egg*
1 ⅔ cups unsweetened almond milk
⅓ cup maple syrup

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 °F and spray an 8x8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice your ripe bananas and place them in a layer on the bottom of your baking dish. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl prepare your flax egg by whisking together 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Once the flax egg has thickened, whisk in the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt.
Lastly, stir in your rolled oats, toasted walnuts and berries. If desired reserve some of the nuts and berries to sprinkle on the top.
Pour the batter on top of your sliced bananas in the baking dish and spread it out to be level. Sprinkle the top with any reserved berries and walnuts.
Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until set.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving plain or with more berries and maple syrup.

Notes

*To toast your walnuts, place them on a baking dish in an oven heated to 375°F / 190°C for about 7 minutes.
*To make a flax egg, whisk 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for five minutes until the texture turns "yolky"
