Instant Pot Instructions

Mix chia seeds and water and set aside. This allows the seeds to gel while you're making the rest of the recipe.
Mash your bananas until they are smooth.
Mix oats, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
Add chia eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, and almond milk to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Lightly spray an oven safe dish with cooking spray and transfer your oatmeal mixture into it.
Cover your pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your Instant Pot.
Place your pan on top of the trivet and use the handles to carefully lower the pan into the pot.
Cover and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
Press Pressure Cook or Manual and cook on high pressure for 50 minutes.
When the cook time is complete, allow the pot to naturally release for ten minutes, then turn the valve to quick release and remove the lid.
Carefully remove your oatmeal using the trivet handles. Remove the foil and serve.

Oven Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Follow steps 1-5 above.
Transfer your oat mixture to your prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, then remove foil and cook for 10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!

If you're not egg free you can replace the chia seeds and water with 8 eggs.
Top with fresh fruit, peanut butter, brown sugar, or melted butter.
If you're doubling the recipe you will need to cook it in separate batches.
Baking times can vary depending on your oven and the size of your pan. You'll know your oats are done when the center is dry and springs back when you touch it.
