Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
This Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is easy to make and perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ripe mashed bananas (about 2 large bananas or 3 medium bananas)
- 3/4 cup milk*
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the old-fashioned rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the mashed banana, milk, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out into one even layer.
- Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until the top is set and lightly golden brown. Mine is usually perfect around 35-36 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Slice and serve warm, or cool completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Store leftover baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing Instructions: This will freeze well for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave before serving.
Milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but any kind of milk will work in this recipe.
Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, make sure to gently stir them in so they do not bleed their color and turn the oatmeal purple.
