A healthy baked oatmeal is the perfect way to start your day and start the new year! Oats are packed with vitamins, fiber, and complex carbs that are awesome for your body and your growing baby!
Baked Banana Oatmeal Ingredients
- For the wet ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ⅓ cups mashed ripe banana)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk (about 1 ⅔ cup coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- For the dry ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- ½ cup chopped walnuts

Baked Banana Oatmeal Directions
- Prep your pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×9 inch pan with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix your wet ingredients. Add all of the wet ingredients to a bowl and whisk them until they’re well-combined. Make sure to mash your bananas first though!
- Add the dry. Add all of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Mix-ins. Fold in the shredded coconut, walnuts & chocolate chips.
- Bake it! Pour the banana baked oatmeal mixture into your pan and bake it until the edges are slightly golden brown.
- Top it. Add extra banana slices, chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup! Sometimes I love to serve it with a little warm or cold coconut or almond milk.
