Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (optional, for added structure)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (or your choice of nuts)
  • 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and egg if using. Stir thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients evenly.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients to ensure even distribution of spices and leavening agents.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Fold in chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries if you are using them.
  5. Bake the Oatmeal: Pour the blended oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. Test doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with optional toppings like extra maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.

Notes

  • This baked oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick and convenient breakfast.
  • Feel free to customize by using other nuts, seeds, or your favorite dried fruit based on preference or dietary needs.
