Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, cocoa powder, chopped walnuts, vanilla sugar, ground almonds, and oat flakes. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the mashed banana and water to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a baking dish with oil to prevent sticking. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for a comforting dessert or at room temperature for a quick snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a satisfying snack.
Enjoy with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
Cooking Tips
For a richer flavor, add a handful of dark chocolate chips to the mixture.
Substitute the walnuts with pecans or hazelnuts for a different nutty flavor.
Use almond milk instead of water for a creamier texture.
