Ingredients

  • 100g (1 cup) rolled oats
  • 150ml (⅔ cup) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • Ground cinnamon, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Oat Mixture

  • Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, eggs, and mashed banana. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined. The mashed banana adds natural sweetness and moisture to the bake.

3. Add Apple and Cinnamon

  • Add the apples and cinnamon: Stir in the apple slices and a generous sprinkle of ground cinnamon. The cinnamon will give the bake a warm, spiced flavor that complements the fruit perfectly.

4. Bake

  • Pour the mixture: Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure it bakes uniformly.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set.

5. Cool and Serve

  • Cool slightly: Once baked, allow the breakfast bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into portions.
  • Serve warm: Enjoy it as is, or top with some yogurt, honey, or fresh fruit for an extra touch.
