Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, peeled
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Fruits
- 1 pint blueberries (reserve some for garnish)
- 2 cups strawberries, thickly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
Optional Garnish
- Nuts or granola (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mash bananas and combine wet ingredients: Place the peeled bananas directly in the baking dish and mash them thoroughly. Add the plant-based milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing them well to create a uniform wet base.
- Add oats and combine: Stir the rolled oats into the banana mixture until fully combined, ensuring the oats are evenly coated.
- Fold in berries: Gently fold in the blueberries and sliced strawberries, distributing the fruit evenly throughout the oat mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes until the oats are set and the top is slightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes to firm up and enhance flavors.
- Serve: Serve warm, garnished with reserved berries and optionally topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nuts, or granola for added texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Plant-based milk options like almond, soy, or oat milk can be used depending on preference.
- Feel free to substitute or add other berries such as raspberries or blackberries.
- Letting the baked oatmeal rest after baking improves texture and flavor.
- Optional nuts or granola add a nice crunch if desired.
