Description

This Banana Bread Baked Oats recipe is a simple, delicious, and easy-to-make breakfast that tastes like a personal slice of banana bread heaven. Combining oats, ripe banana, and eggs, it’s blended smooth and baked to create a comforting, wholesome cake perfect for a quick morning treat or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats (50g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 medium banana (100g, very ripe)
  • 2 large eggs

Topping

  • 1 tbsp chopped dark chocolate (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the oats mixture.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a small blender, combine the oats, ripe banana, eggs, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Blend everything until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the blended mixture into a small baking dish like a 7-inch pie dish or any similar-sized oven-safe dish you prefer.
  4. Add Topping: Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate evenly over the surface of the batter to add a delicious chocolatey touch (optional).
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until the oats are set and the edges start to pull away slightly from the dish.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy warm immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for National Banana Bread Day or when you want a healthier, less bready version of banana bread.
  • To veganize, replace the eggs with flax or chia egg substitutes (1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water per egg, let sit to gel).
  • The chopped dark chocolate topping is optional but adds a nice balance to the sweet oats.
  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Serves as a single personal-sized baked oat cake, but quantities can be multiplied for more servings.
