Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (or 1 cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, chocolate chips, berries, or sliced fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas (or add applesauce). Whisk in eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in any optional add-ins like berries, nuts, or chocolate chips.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until top is golden and center is set.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or refrigerate for later.

Notes

  • Make it vegan by using flax eggs and plant-based milk.
  • Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap bananas with applesauce or pumpkin puree as desired.
  • For added sweetness, increase maple syrup or top with fruit and honey after baking.
  • Double the recipe for a crowd and bake in a 9×13-inch pan for 45–50 minutes.
