Blended Banana Baked Oatmeal
Description
All ingredients except chocolate chips are blended into a uniform batter using a high-speed blender or food processor, resulting in a smooth mixture that bakes evenly. The addition of ripe bananas provides natural sweetness and moisture, while eggs and baking soda contribute to the baked structure. Cinnamon adds warmth and spice.
After blending, the batter is poured into a prepared pan and sprinkled with chocolate chips, which lightly melt into the oats during baking. The oatmeal is baked at 350°F until fluffy and set, then cooled slightly for clean slicing.
This dish serves as a filling breakfast or snack, with a soft, tender crumb reminiscent of quick breads but with the heartiness of oats. It can be served warm with toppings like butter, honey, or nut butters to add richness and flavor.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator, allowing convenient make-ahead breakfasts. Ingredients like avocado oil and maple syrup contribute subtle fat and sweetness, balancing the oats and bananas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 banana large, ripe
- 4 egg large
- 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract optional, pure
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup pure
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil optional
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional, up to 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until everything is completely combined and a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the blended oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. If you’d like, you can sprinkle the batter with chocolate chips - they will sink but this is a great way of getting chocolate chips inside of the baked oats.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the oats are fluffy and test clean.
- If you’d like, sprinkle the breakfast cake with more chocolate chips.
- Allow the oats to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for freshness.
- Serve the baked oatmeal warm with toppings such as butter, honey, peanut butter, or almond butter for additional flavor and richness.
