Banana Oatmeal Hot Cakes With Spiced Maple Syrup Food

BANANA-OATMEAL CAKE (SCREWED-UP MOTHER'S DAY CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix milk and vinegar together in a bowl.
• Stir white sugar, vegetable oil, milk mixture, brown sugar, and butter together in a bowl; add baking soda and baking powder and stir. Mix oats into sugar mixture. Stir flour, 1 cup at a time, into sugar-oat mixture until batter is evenly combined; fold in bananas. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

HEALTHY BANANA OATMEAL SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat a 9"-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg whites, and vanilla. Add in the mashed banana and Greek yogurt, stirring until no large lumps of yogurt remain. Stir in the maple syrup. Alternate between adding the oat mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the oat mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the oat mixture in 3 equal parts.)
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 26-29 minutes or until the center feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely to room temperature in the pan before slicing and serving.

MAPLE OAT NUT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and line with a sling of parchment paper with long ends. This will help you lift the bread out for neater slicing.
• Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times. I do this in a stand mixer, but you can use electric beaters or a good old fashioned wooden spoon.
• Beat in the vanilla, maple syrup, and eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Blend in the mashed bananas, oats, baking soda, and salt.
• Fold in the flour and then the walnuts. Turn the batter into your prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn down the oven to 325F and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter on it. You may need to tent the bread with foil for the last part of baking so it doesn't get too brown on top. Cool on a rack.
• To make the glaze, put the butter and maple syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then take off the stove and add the maple extract (if using) and sifted sugar. Stir or whisk well until there are no lumps. Let the glaze cool for about 15 minutes, stirring it occasionally to keep it smooth. Pour or spread over the cooled bread, and top with a sprinkle of oats and walnuts. Let the frosting harden before you slice the bread.

BANANA-OATMEAL HOT CAKES WITH SPICED MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, cinnamon stick and cloves. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves with a slotted spoon. Set the syrup aside and keep warm. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats and water. Microwave on high until the oats are creamy and tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and canola oil. Set aside to cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Whisk to blend. Add the milk, yogurt and banana to the oats and stir until well blended. Beat in the egg. Add the flour mixture to the oat mixture and stir just until moistened. Place a nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles as it hits the pan, spoon 1/4 cup pancake batter into the pan. Cook until the top surface of the pancake is covered with bubbles and the edges are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the bottom is well browned and the pancake is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter. Place the pancakes on warmed individual plates. Drizzle with the warm syrup and serve immediately.
