Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 chia eggs (2 tablespoons chia seeds + 5 tablespoons water)
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup banana, mashed
- 1 cup plant milk (I used oat milk)
- 1/2 cup nut/seed butter (I used almond butter)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter/coconut oil
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, make the chia eggs first by combining the chia seeds and water and stirring frequently until they “gel” up and the water is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, add the oats, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl and add it to the bowl with the oats along with the plant milk of choice, nut/seed butter of choice, vanilla, the chia eggs and maple syrup if using. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries then place into a parchment-line 7×11 baking dish. Alternatively you may use an 8×8 or 9×13 baking dish but the sticks will end up being thicker or thinner.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Let the oatmeal cool completely before slicing into sticks. I recommend making this the night before and allowing it to cool in your fridge.
- Using the parchment paper, gently lift the baked oatmeal out of the baking dish and place it onto a large cutting board. Slice the baked oatmeal into 12 pieces.
- Heat an electric griddle or large skillet over medium high heat. Melt vegan butter or coconut oil then add the oatmeal slices and cook them just like you would french toast, flipping them to all four sides until they are golden and crispy on the outsides. Serve with maple syrup.
- Refrigerate or freeze any leftover sticks. To reheat frozen french toast sticks it is preferred you bake them in the oven or air fry them but you may also microwave them if in a hurry.
