Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 0.25 cups chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet banana mixture, stirring until everything is evenly incorporated.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Optionally, drizzle with additional maple syrup or serve with fresh fruit.
