Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Butter, melted
- 1 large Banana, sliced
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar sized casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Stir in the melted butter, ensuring it is mixed evenly throughout the batter.
Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the sliced bananas, spacing them out evenly.
Pour the oatmeal mixture over the bananas in the baking dish, spreading it out with a spoon to make sure the surface is even.
Sprinkle the fresh or frozen berries across the top, incorporating them slightly into the oatmeal mix for some of them to sink in.
Add the chopped nuts on top if you are using them, for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into portions. Serve warm, with extra milk or yogurt if desired.
