Ingredients

½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup creamy nut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon coarse salt
½ cup mix-in of choice (fresh or frozen berries, dark chocolate chips, sliced banana, diced apple, chopped walnuts or pecans, unsweetened dried fruit, unsweetened flaked coconut)
Optional: additional pure maple syrup, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Oat Beverage, eggs, maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
Tips
- The batter comes together easier if the nut butter is warmed. Simply place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds or until slightly runny and easy to stir.
Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until combined. Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mix-ins of choice on top.
Bake for 35 minutes or until set. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces. Serve drizzled with additional maple syrup, if desired.
