This banana bread baked oatmeal takes only minutes to put together before baking in the oven. Works both as a sit down breakfast or as a grab and go.
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Stir together rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in milk, eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add oat mixture to banana mixture and stir until evenly blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, 35 to 40 minutes.
Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Cut into 9 bars. Serve and enjoy!
