Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup egg whites (optional, omit for vegan version)
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 ½ cups mixed frozen berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the oatmeal.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Generously spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mash Bananas: Add the ripe bananas to the baking dish and mash them well until smooth.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, milk, egg whites (if using), and almond extract (if using) to the mashed bananas. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
  5. Add Berries: Evenly distribute the mixed frozen berries on top of the oat mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is fluffy and set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice into portions, optionally top with yogurt, then serve and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • To make this recipe vegan, omit the egg whites and increase milk to 2 cups.
  • You can substitute mixed frozen berries with fresh berries if available, adjusting bake time slightly.
  • For added sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top before serving.
  • Use almond extract sparingly as it has a strong flavor; it enhances the overall taste but is optional.
  • Make sure to spray the baking dish well to ensure easy slicing and serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast.
