It is a dessert-like baked oatmeal that reminds me of banana bread, and due to the hearty oats and natural sweetness of bananas, it is definitely a breakfast worthy dish.
If you are tired of using your brown bananas for actual banana bread, then maybe this is the time for a change of pace. This banana bread-flavored baked oatmeal is a wonderful breakfast meal prep you can prepare ahead of time for the week. BONUS: the dish can also be frozen.
Yes, healthy like this but Apronese doesn’t recommend it to you, it’s a waste, this recipe is suitable for everyone, including dieters, learn it now.
Baked Oatmeal: What Is It?
In case you are new to the world of baked oatmeal, it’s a wonderful breakfast treat. It’s really oats baked into a custard, which is like a bread pudding with oats rather than bread. It is a very moist, creamy, sweet, and comforting treat to eat in the morning.
If you do not like oats because they are too gooey to eat when boiled with water, then give baked oatmeal a try. It is soft, moist, and rich, but not at all gooey in the middle. Many people mistakenly think baked oats are crunchy when it comes to eating, but they aren’t.
If you would like to try other flavors of baked oatmeal, you can try the Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal, the Oatmeal Cookie Baked Oatmeal, or the Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal.
Leftovers: How to Store Them
In this recipe, you will make a large batch, so you’ll want to keep the leftovers to snack on throughout the week. When baking, be sure that your baked oatmeal is refrigerated as soon as possible.
My favorite way to store my baked oatmeal is to divide it into individual servings immediately after baking, and then to keep them in an individual container in the refrigerator. Once the baked oatmeal is refrigerated, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Serving Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal
As far as the baked oatmeal is concerned, it is delectable either hot or cold. You can either eat it as is, or pour cold milk over top. Of course, if you want to make this a little sweeter, you can drizzle a bit of maple syrup on top.
Can I Use Steel Cut Oats?
Since steel cut oats require a lot of moisture and a longer cooking time than rolled oats, you cannot replace them in this recipe without making other adjustments.
I cannot offer any suggestions for that particular substitution since I have not tested it and cannot be sure whether it will work. I believe it is possible to tweak that substitution to make it work. I am not familiar with the method and therefore cannot make any recommendations.

How to Make Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal – Step By Step Photos
This recipe calls for 1.5 cups of mashed bananas, which is approximately three bananas. I usually mash my bananas in a liquid measuring cup so I can see how much is needed.
A large bowl should be used for mixing the mashed bananas along with 1/3 cups of brown sugar, two large eggs, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoons of nutmeg. Whisk together the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
Having combined the other ingredients, you can add 2 cups of milk and whisk it again. It seems easier to whisk in the milk after the other ingredients have been combined since it causes less splashing.
In the end, you will add 2.5 cups of rolled oats and 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts to the batter.
Make sure the oat mixture is poured into a casserole dish with a diameter of 9 inches by 9 inches.
It is recommended that you bake the oatmeal for 45 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit in a preheated oven, or until the top and edges are a golden brown color.
There are two ways to serve banana bread baked oatmeal: either serve immediately or divide it into six portions and keep it in the refrigerator for later.
Milk can be served alone or topped with hot or cold oatmeal.
Banana, oat and baked cake is delicious, it must be said that it is a very healthy dish that Apronese introduces to everyone. The recipe and ingredients are so simple and easy to find for you. Must try it now.
