INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup gluten-free old fashioned oats

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease 2 individual oven-safe baking dishes (I used mini bundt pans).
2. In a small bowl combine the oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk to incorporate.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, banana and vanilla.
4. Add in the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
