Ingredients
  

Baked Oatmeal
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces optional
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup mashed banana or 2 very ripe bananas
  • 1 3/4 cups milk of choice dairy, almond or oat
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
For Serving
  • Banana slices
  • Almond butter or peanut butter

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Grease an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 inch pan with coconut oil or a neutral oil. In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, pecan pieces, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and kosher salt.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the prepared pan.
  4. Mash the bananas. In the same bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Drizzle this wet mixture over the oats in the pan. Stir lightly with a fork to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes to fully set.
  6. Before serving, spread the top with almond butter or peanut butter, or a combination, and top with banana slices.

Notes

You can mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately and store them in different containers (keeping the wet ingredients refrigerated). Combine them in the morning and bake. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 1 week. Reheat in a 300 degree oven or microwave until warm.
