Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cups pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 ripe banana, slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar size dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
Layer the sliced banana evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the berries on top of the banana.
Pour the oat mixture over the fruit, spreading it out evenly in the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining berries and chopped nuts (if using) on top of the oatmeal mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, and if desired, drizzle with extra maple syrup or a splash of milk.
