Slow Cooker Baked Oatmeal with Bananas and Nuts
Description
This slow cooker baked oatmeal uses old-fashioned oats sweetened with brown sugar and layered with sliced bananas, applesauce, raisins, and chopped nuts. The oats absorb moisture from milk and eggs poured over them, creating a tender, cakey texture as they cook low and slow for several hours. The bananas soften, adding natural sweetness and creaminess, while the nuts provide a contrasting crunch. The cinnamon and baking powder add subtle warmth and lightness.
The assembled layers ensure the fruit and nuts are evenly distributed while the slow cooking gently cooks the mixture to a uniform consistency. The finished oatmeal is moist but set, firm enough to serve in squares or scoops.
Serve the baked oatmeal warm topped with maple syrup or milk, enhancing the comforting sweetness. This oatmeal is suitable for a breakfast that can be made ahead and kept warm in the slow cooker until ready to eat.
