Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal

Starting your day with a healthy breakfast is always a good plan. Sometimes you just don’t have time. If you can grab something out of the fridge or freezer, and quickly warm it up, you can be on your way in minutes!

I first learned about baked oatmeal from my friend Jillian, about 7 years ago. She is a great cook! I wanted something that I could make ahead of time and grab on the go, more or less. I made Jillian’s baked oatmeal, and knew I found a winner!

This Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is a spin on her recipe. She didn’t use fruit in hers. Also, I cut the recipe in half because I wanted to be able to make other flavors and have a variety to choose from. And made this one banana, because I LOVE banana bread!

a few tips for the best banana bread baked oatmeal

• Use really ripe bananas with lots of sugar spots on them!
• If you don’t use butter, substitute melted coconut oil.
• Use almond milk in place of milk, if you don’t do dairy.
• If you don’t want to use sugar, use real maple syrup.
• Use old fashioned oats, not quick oats.

Can baked oatmeal be frozen?

Yes! Cut the baked oatmeal into squares and then put them into freezer bags. They can be frozen up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave on 70% power for a couple minutes, or take out of the freezer the night before so you can just grab it and go.

You can eat them like a bar, with your hands, or put in a bowl and warm it up, serving with warm milk and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Yum!

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, you will need a 9″x13″ pan. The cook time should stay the same, but keep an eye on it.
