Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is my favorite way to make breakfast feel like a treat while still being genuinely wholesome. This version is naturally sweetened with banana and packed with juicy strawberries.

I bake a pan on Sunday and we eat it all week, warm from the oven or straight from the fridge.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups strawberries, chopped

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the mashed banana, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir. Gently fold in most of the strawberries, saving a handful for the top.
5. Pour into the baking dish and scatter the reserved strawberries over the surface.
6. Bake for 33-38 minutes, until set in the center and golden at the edges. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• The riper the banana, the sweeter the oatmeal.
• Frozen strawberries work too; no need to thaw, just add a couple of extra minutes.
• Let it cool slightly before slicing so it holds together.

Variations

• Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or diced apple.
• Stir in a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
• Use any milk you like, dairy or plant-based.

Storage

Refrigerate covered for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or freeze for up to 2 months.
