Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the oats, milk, banana, eggs, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter with no large oat chunks.
- Mix Chocolate Chips: Stir in ¼ cup of semisweet chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them down.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips and banana slices on top for more flavor and decoration.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk—dairy or plant-based—to suit your dietary preferences.
- For added texture, try adding nuts or seeds before baking.
- This baked oatmeal reheats well in the microwave for a quick breakfast option.
- Make sure the banana is ripe for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
