Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal
An easy, healthy and hearty make ahead breakfast perfect for meal prepping or for sharing with friends and family for brunch! Banana Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal is a true delight!
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed (1 cup)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 eggs*
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk of choice**
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 9” baking pan or baking dish with parchment paper. As an alternative, you can spray the pan with cooking oil.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in a large bowl until creamy. I find this is easiest when I first mash the banana until it’s creamy, then stir in the peanut butter until creamy, and then whisk in the milk and eggs.
- Add in the dry ingredients (oats, ground cinnamon, sea salt) and mix until well-combined. If adding, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan. If desired, sprinkle with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the baked oatmeal has set up and is golden-brown. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 20 minutes before slicing into individual portions and serving. Note: you can serve before 20 minutes, but the oatmeal won’t hold together in nice squares until it has cooled off).
Notes
*To make recipe egg-free and vegan, stir 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water together in a bowl. Allow this mixture to sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the substance resembles beaten eggs.
**I use full-fat canned coconut milk to make the baked oatmeal ultra rich
Serve baked oatmeal with a drizzle of peanut butter, a simple powdered sugar glaze, or a dollop of yogurt and fresh fruit if desired. Additional banana slices, blueberries, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup are great!
