Banana Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Squares

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups or 360 g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped walnuts
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, making sure they are fully incorporated into the banana mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  7. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing it into squares.

Recipe Notes

  • Let the bananas ripen until they’re very soft for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • If you prefer a nut-free version, feel free to omit the walnuts or replace them with pumpkin seeds for added crunch.
  • You can swap the blueberries for other fruits like chopped apples or strawberries based on what you have available.
  • Serve these squares warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness if desired.
