Warm, wholesome oatmeal bake with sweet bananas and creamy yogurt topping.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
04 - ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
11 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Toppings

12 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
13 - 1 banana, sliced
14 - ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
15 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined and smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to distribute spices evenly.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula, ensuring the surface is level.
06 - Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and golden brown at the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
07 - Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, topped with Greek yogurt, banana slices, nuts if desired, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can meal prep it on Sunday and have breakfast waiting for you all week
  • The texture is like a cross between baked oatmeal and banana bread pudding
  • Topping it with cold Greek yogurt while its still warm creates the most incredible temperature contrast
02 -
  • Overripe bananas with lots of brown spots will give you the best flavor and sweetness
  • Do not overmix the batter or the oatmeal can become tough and rubbery
  • The center might still look slightly soft when you take it out but it will continue to set as it cools
03 -
  • Use certified gluten free oats if you need this to be gluten free
  • Let the bananas come to room temperature before mashing for easier mixing
  • Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup
