Burger Baked Oatmeal

Burger baked oatmeal… or is it? Well, not exactly. These “burgers” are banana baked oatmeal “buns” filled with chocolate and sweet potato “patties” and cherry jelly “ketchup”. It’s my early April Fools surprise!

For the banana baked oatmeal “buns”:
1 overripe banana
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon molasses
½ cup almond milk (or other milk)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Two pinches of sesame seeds

For the sweet potato and chocolate “patties”:
½ cup cooked and mashed sweet potato, cooled (preferably cold from the fridge)
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon almond milk (or other milk)
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of allspice or mixed spice (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

To assemble:
2 – 4 teaspoons cherry jelly/jam (or jelly of choice)
Optional extras: Sliced strawberries, caramel sauce, sliced banana, etc.
