Description

This Baked Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal is a warm, comforting breakfast dish featuring wholesome rolled oats, ripe bananas, and sweet chocolate chips baked to perfection. It’s a delicious and nutritious way to start your day, combining the natural sweetness of bananas with the richness of chocolate in a moist, cakey oatmeal bake.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish with melted butter or non-stick spray to prevent the oatmeal from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute all the dry spices and leavening agent.
  3. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add milk, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk or mix until well incorporated.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine them thoroughly. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. For a softer texture, remove closer to 50 minutes; for a firmer, more set oatmeal, bake closer to 60 minutes.
  7. Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the oatmeal rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set further before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any dairy or plant-based options to suit dietary preferences.
  • For a nut-free option, avoid using almond milk and choose oat or dairy milk instead.
  • Adjust the baking time depending on your preferred texture—less time for softer, more pudding-like oatmeal, longer for a firmer bake.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
  • Adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of nut butter on top after baking adds extra flavor and texture.
