Bananas are one of my favorite breakfast foods. For some reason, they just don’t taste as good any other time of day.

So I eat them with everything. On my pancakes/waffles, sliced in my oatmeal, on toast, and also eaten with eggs.

In fact, I have about 3 quart-sized freezer bags full of cut-up bananas in my freezer so I can save them for baking.

On this particular morning, I made this Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal before Allison woke up. I’ve been waking up a bit earlier to get more computer work done, so I figured I’d be productive even more before the sun came up.

Oatmeal bakes are pretty easy. Just mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet in another, and then combine. I doubled this recipe, so I ended up filling this bowl almost all the way to the top.

After they were done baking, I let them sit for over an hour while I got Allison ready, and then cut up each dish into 6 pieces and put them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sometimes with oatmeal bakes, the bottoms are pretty soft and have the consistency of oatmeal rather than a bar. So I flipped each piece upside down to freeze properly; keep that in mind if you make these.

Once they’re frozen though, they’re good to go! Just put them in a labeled freezer bag.

These pieces are huge and SO good. I ate mine with sliced bananas because… why not?

I’ve also heard of people eating their oatmeal bakes inside milk, almost like cereal. I didn’t realize that was a thing, so I tried it… and wow. Best thing ever. I’m totally doing this from now on.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

    This recipe looks so yummy! I made some frozen yogurt breakfast bars yesterday. There was no school so I wasn’t super productive today lol But I just got the kids in bed so I’m going to work on the waffles and then make this tomorrow!

    Do you thaw these out of the freezer before adding to milk or eating as a bar? Or do you warm it? Thanks!

      I thawed mine overnight in the fridge before eating. =) They’re not quite firm enough to eat as a bar, so you can eat it either cold/thawed with milk or warm it up first, then add cold milk. Either one is delicious!

    I like your website and budget friendly recipes. I made this baked oatmeal with sugar free maple syrup and it turned out great. I have been eating it for breakfast this week—-with milk and bananas or with a little butter and some of the same sugar free syrup. It’s very filling and costs little to make, I heated mine up in the microwave and it has saved me time in the mornings. I’m sure you have an Instant Pot. I also like to make a double batch of steel cut oats and then eat off it for a week when I am craving oatmeal. This summer when our Georgia peaches were coming in, I would slice fresh peaches over a bowl and pour a little cream over the whole thing. Yum—you could use canned or thawed frozen peaches for a similar breakfast.
