Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings

  • Banana slices
  • Extra chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch or a similar-sized baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, arrange banana slices or scatter extra nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns a light golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

  • This baked oatmeal can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for a quick breakfast option.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the entire dish in the oven before serving.
  • Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, or additional nuts to customize your serving.
