How To:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine mashed banana, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine, the banana may be chunky, that is okay. 
  4. Combine both dry and wet mixture until a uniform batter forms. 
  5. Add the oatmeal to a greased or lined casserole baking dish. 
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a golden brown edge begins to form.

  8. To a high speed blender add raw cashews, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust to taste.

  10. Serve with cashew cream cheese drizzle, dairy-free yogurt or extra chopped walnuts. 

*If you don't have time to soak your raw cashews, boil in water for 15 minutes until soft!
