Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, egg, melted butter, and mashed banana until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently until everything is well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the oatmeal to set further and make it easier to slice.
Serve warm, topped with fresh berries or an extra drizzle of milk if desired. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 4 days.
