Cuisine: American
Course: Breakfast
Calories: 150

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) diced fresh or thawed frozen peaches
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) chopped pecans, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until mixed. Gently fold in 1 cup (150 g) of the diced peaches.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining peaches and sprinkle with chopped pecans if you’re using them.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting it into squares.

Recipe Notes

  • Ripe Bananas: Make sure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and easy mashing.
  • Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Milk Options: You can use non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk to suit dietary needs.
  • Storage: Cut squares can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
  • Texture: Letting it cool longer helps it firm up, making it easier to cut into neat squares.
