Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 medium Ripe Banana Adds natural sweetness and moisture; substitute with applesauce for a lower-calorie option.
  • 1 cup Fat Free Milk Feel free to use any plant-based milk.
  • ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt Can be swapped for dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Enhances the almond flavor profile.
  • 1 large Brown Egg Can be replaced with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water).
  • 1 cup Oat Flour Provides structure; whole wheat flour can substitute effectively.
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats Adds texture; quick oats will yield a softer consistency.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it’s fresh for the best results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness and is essential for flavor.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Any protein powder works but may alter flavor.
For the Frangipane Almond Cream
  • ½ cup Almond Flour Creates a nutty taste essential for the almond cream.
For the Topping
  • ¼ cup Sliced Almonds Adds a delightful crunch on top.
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar Optional if you want to cut down on sugar.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by mashing one ripe banana in a medium bowl until smooth. Add in 1 cup of fat-free milk, ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt, and most of the beaten large brown egg. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of oat flour, 1 cup of old-fashioned oats, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until smooth.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your baking dish. Spray a medium baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Pour the oat batter into the dish and spread it evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of almond flour, the reserved tablespoon of beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and a splash of milk. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Spoon dollops of the almond cream over the oat mixture and swirl gently. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the baked oats to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, then cut into squares and serve warm.
