Banana Nut Baked Oatmeal
This Banana Nut Bread Baked Oatmeal is a warm, hearty breakfast packed with ripe bananas, walnuts, and cinnamon. It’s an easy, make-ahead dish that tastes just like classic banana nut bread—perfect for busy mornings!
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 large bananas for the best flavor use really ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil (melted) or butter
- ½ cup walnuts toasted & chopped
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the walnuts out in an even layer on the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool and give a rough chop.
- Lightly grease and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk until combined. Stir in the walnuts and oats. Mix until fully combined.
- In a large bowl mash the bananas. Add the eggs, coconut oil, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35 minutes. The baked oatmeal is ready when the middle is set, and the edges are firm. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- When incorporating the melted coconut oil (or butter) you can add it to the milk and slightly warm the milk to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying.
- Some great add-ins are pecans, almonds and chocolate chips.
- If meal prepping, reheat before serving for the best results.
