Warm, cozy baked oatmeal loaded with ripe bananas and melty chocolate chips. A simple, make-ahead friendly breakfast that’s naturally sweetened and perfect for busy mornings.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
Whisk in eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted butter until well combined.
Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly moistened.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and walnuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top and arrange banana slices over the surface; sprinkle a few extra chips if desired.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For dairy-free, use almond milk and coconut oil. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave with a splash of milk.
