A wholesome and comforting baked oatmeal, brimming with sweet blueberries, ripe bananas, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or a cozy brunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for greasing)

  • Optional: extra banana slices and blueberries for topping

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with melted butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure it’s all well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry oat mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  • Carefully fold in the blueberries. Try to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
  • If desired, arrange extra banana slices and blueberries on top for a pretty presentation.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  • Let the baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of milk.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven.

Notes

    • Sweet Spot Bananas: The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your baked oatmeal will be! Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots on the peel.
    • Make-Ahead Magic: You can assemble this the night before! Cover the baking dish and refrigerate. In the morning, just pop it in the oven, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the bake time as it will be cold.
    • Berry Versatility: While blueberries are lovely, feel free to swap them for raspberries, sliced strawberries, or a mix of your favorite berries. Fresh or frozen both work beautifully!
