  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tsp. egg replacer
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Put the peeled avocado and bananas into a medium mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer or use a masher to make a smooth mixture.
  3. Add the canola oil, vanilla, and plant-based milk and blend until smooth.
  4. Add the egg replacer, oats, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, flaxseed, and walnuts and blend until just smooth. Be careful not to overwork the batter.

  6. Allow to cool slightly then turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
