Ingredients
-
1/2 cup oatmeal, preferably large flake but quick oats will work
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon oil
-
1/4 cup cinnamon baking chips
-
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup milk (or more, if necessary)
-
turbinado sugar or demerara sugar, for sprinkling on top
-
oats, for sprinkling on top
-
1 banana, ripe, mashed
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400.
- Mix dry ingredients together (oatmeal, flours, baking powder, cinnamon). Stir oil into dry ingredients well. Add cinnamon chips and walnuts and stir. In a clear measuring cup, add mashed banana, milk to 3/4 cup (banana plus milk should equal 3/4 cup), and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients; stir until the dry ingredients are damp.
- Drop dough onto parchment paper lined or greased baking sheet, and form into a 5" diameter circle. Cut into four triangles - it's ok to leave them in a circle. Sprinkle with oats and sugar.
- Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
