Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal
Description
This baked oatmeal recipe mixes bananas mashed to creamy consistency with peanut butter for richness, then incorporates eggs and non-dairy milk to bind the ingredients. Rolled oats add bulk and structure while ground cinnamon and salt enhance flavor nuances. Optional chocolate chips can be folded in to add pockets of sweetness that melt during baking.
The mixture is poured into a parchment-lined or greased baking pan and baked at 350°F until set and golden on top, about 40 to 50 minutes. After baking, it requires cooling for about 20 minutes to firm up enough for slicing into squares. The texture is moist but holds together well due to eggs and peanut butter.
This oatmeal is versatile for serving with additional toppings like a peanut butter drizzle, powdered sugar glaze, yogurt, or fresh fruit such as sliced banana or blueberries. It offers a wholesome alternative to traditional oatmeal with the added richness of peanut butter and natural sweetness from ripe bananas.
The notes mention an egg-free and vegan option using a flaxseed egg substitute and suggest using canned coconut milk for creaminess. These adaptations keep the recipe accessible to different dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 3 banana mashed (1 cup, ripe
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy or almond butter
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 9” baking pan or baking dish with parchment paper. As an alternative, you can spray the pan with cooking oil.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in a large bowl until creamy. I find this is easiest when I first mash the banana until it’s creamy, then stir in the peanut butter until creamy, and then whisk in the milk and eggs.
- Add in the dry ingredients (oats, ground cinnamon, sea salt) and mix until well-combined. If adding, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan. If desired, sprinkle with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the baked oatmeal has set up and is golden-brown. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 20 minutes before slicing into individual portions and serving. Note: you can serve before 20 minutes, but the oatmeal won’t hold together in nice squares until it has cooled off).
Notes
- To make this recipe egg-free and vegan, replace eggs with a flaxseed egg made by combining 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons water and allowing to thicken.
- Using full-fat canned coconut milk enriches the texture, making the baked oatmeal ultra creamy.
- Serve with peanut butter drizzle, powdered sugar glaze, fresh fruit, or yogurt for added flavor and texture.
