Baked oatmeal has become a staple in my house. We are all really big fans of banana bread and oatmeal, so this baked oatmeal was instantly a winner! Everyone, including my husband LOVES baked oatmeal, from this Pumpkin baked oatmeal recipe to the Oatmeal Cups, baked oatmeal is a family favorite.
I always have overripe bananas lingering around, waiting to be used. I typically use my overripe bananas to make baked goods like banana crumb muffins or banana bread. But since I discovered baked oatmeal, I have found myself using those overripe bananas to make this delicious breakfast.
I have made this recipe with sugar, maple syrup and honey. All three work really well and can be adjusted to your taste. If using really, really ripe bananas I would recommend cutting back on the sugar. If you are using bananas that are not overripe the amount of sugar in this recipe will be perfect.
This baked oatmeal recipe is super easy to put together. You will find the full directions in the recipe card below.
