Ingredients
  

  • Banana Bread Baked Oats Base
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups milk or almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Mix-Ins
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • To Serve
  • Sliced bananas
  • A drizzle of honey
  • A side of Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Oven-Safe Baking Dish
  • Fork (for mashing bananas)

Method
 

  1. Prep Your Dish: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth and creamy. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more aromatic your baked oats will be.
  3. Build the Batter: Add the oats, milk, egg, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until everything looks well combined and slightly thickened. Fold in any optional mix-ins like nuts, chocolate, or chia.
  4. Pour & Smooth: Transfer the mixture into your baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top so it bakes evenly.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is golden, the edges are firm, and the center feels set. Let cool for at least 5 minutes; flavors deepen as it rests.
  6. Serve Warm & Enjoy: Slice into squares or spoon it out like warm cake. Pair it with soothing drinks like Honey Lemon Tea or vibrant morning drinks like the Spiced Pear Smoothie for a complete, nourishing breakfast.

Notes

  • For a sweeter flavor, use extra-ripe bananas with brown spots.
  • Add protein powder for a post-workout breakfast boost.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
  • This recipe freezes beautifully in individual portions for grab-and-go mornings.
