    Baked banana oatmeal. Start your day the right way with this delicious and easy to make healthy banana baked oats breakfast!

    A bowl of served baked banana oatmeal decorated with sliced bananas. Rest of the recipe in casserole dish above.

    Folks, if like me you love an easy to make healthy breakfast then this healthy baked banana oatmeal is just what you're looking for!

    Not only is it easy to make, but just like my chocolate peanut butter baked oats breakfast recipe, it tastes like you're having dessert for breakfast!

    This is a great budget recipe. It's really filling and goes a long way. You can easily feed 4 people.

    You can serve it on it's own, with some extra sliced bananas or you can get all creative and add your own chosen toppings.

    I've listed some suggestions for toppings in the FAQ's below but otherwise the choice is yours!

    Baked banana oatmeal just removed from the oven and still in cooking dish. Serving spoon to the left and serving bowls above.

    I've used honey to sweeten this baked banana oatmeal breakfast. That helps to bring out the delicious banana flavours.

    Using honey also means it's naturally sweetened and doesn't contain any refined sugars.

    I also added some vanilla extract and cinnamon giving it a unique fragrance. One that makes your kitchen smell amazing as it's baking.

    These banana baked oats are incredibly hearty and this breakfast is an excellent make-ahead delicious and nutritious breakfast recipe.

    Making this recipe for breakfast will help you to save time and reduce stress in the mornings.

    It'll keep you full up until lunchtime reducing the temptation to reach for less healthy snacks before lunch!

    Plus it's a great way to use up any overripe bananas you might have.

    So why not start your day with a tasty bowl of baked banana oatmeal?

    • Greek Yogurt
    • Honey
    • Egg
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Cinnamon Powder

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Detailed instructions are in the recipe card below. But here is a quick step by step guide of how to make this healthy baked banana oatmeal recipe:

    Empty square serving dish sprayed with cooking oil spray.

    Steps 1 & 2

    • Preheat oven to 180C Fan.
    • Using the cooking oil spray to grease a small oven proof casserole dish.
    Bananas mashed in a large bowl with porridge oats stirred in.

    Step 3

    • Mash the bananas in a large bowl then stir in the porridge oats.
    Milk, yogurt, honey and egg whisked together in a glass bowl.

    Step 4

    • In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, yogurt, honey, and egg.
    All ingredients for baked banana oatmeal mixed together in a large bowl.

    Step 5

    • Mix the liquid mixture and banana oats together. Add the vanilla and cinnamon.
    Baked banana oatmeal mixture in greased baking dish ready to go into the oven.

    Step 6

    • Spoon the mixture into the greased baking dish.
    Baked banana oatmeal cooked and removed from oven resting on a wire rack.

    Steps 7, 8 and 9

    • Bake in centre of your oven until set and lightly golden brown.
    • Remove from oven. Place on a wire rack. Allow to cool a little before serving.
    • Serve in bowls as squares or broken up with a little more honey, yogurt, and some extra sliced bananas.

    Substitutions

    • Cooking Oil Spray - you could use a little olive oil instead.
    • Bananas - ripe bananas are best. They mash easier and are much sweeter.
    • Porridge Oats - Just ordinary rolled oats. Don't use quick oats. Use old-fashioned oats / steel-cut oats only. Or use gluten-free oats.
    • Milk - I use skimmed milk. This is what the nutritional label is based on. But you can use coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk or soy milk if you want.
    • Greek Yogurt - I use fat free Greek yogurt. You could use regular yogurt but Greek yogurt has more protein, less sugar and a thicker consistency for cooking with.
    • Honey - you could use maple syrup instead.
    • Egg - I use a large egg. If you're making this vegan you can use a flax egg.
    • Vanilla Extract - you could leave out if you want to but it does add to the natural sweetness of the recipe.
    • Cinnamon Powder - you could leave out but this spice actually complements the bananas.

    FAQ's

    How To Make This Vegan?

    Substitute the milk for dairy-free milk and the egg for a flax egg. Instead of honey use maple syrup.

    What should I serve this with?

    This baked oatmeal can be eaten hot or cold. As suggested in the recipe you could have a little additional milk, or yogurt and top with some banana slices. Raspberries go well too as do chopped nuts like almonds or seeds like pumpkin seeds.

    How To Store?

    You can store in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. Any longer and I would recommend freezing.

    How To Freeze?

    Cut your baked banana oatmeal into slices and freeze in individual containers. You can quickly defrost these when needed.

    How To Reheat Baked Banana Oatmeal?

    It just takes a minute or so to reheat this breakfast in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.

      This looks wholesome! It's great not only for breakfast, after snacks, or a dessert with some whipped cream or ice cream of course.

      I do love oatmeal...especially on chilly winter mornings! However, I have to admit that I've never tried baked oatmeal. I'm sure I would love the flavor, so I definitely need to try this out. I love the banana angle here, too, Neil!

      I DO love baked oatmeal (I haven't made any for a long time though, so thank you for such a delicious reminder!) Bananas combined with warming aroma of cinnamon and vanilla - what can be better?!
