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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will these keep in the freezer?

If this baked oatmeal is inside a freezer bag, it’ll stay fresh up to 3 months. It’s still safe to eat after that; but after awhile, it may get freezer burnt and won’t taste as good.

Mine never lasts that long in the freezer anyway because I eat it so fast!

My oatmeal bake is really soft on the bottom- how do I freeze it?

Sometimes with oatmeal bakes, the bottoms are pretty soft and have the consistency of oatmeal rather than a bar.

If this happens to you, flip each piece upside down on the cookie sheet with parchment paper on top. This will let the pieces freeze without getting stuck.

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

What else can you eat with this baked oatmeal?

I like having protein with my breakfast because it keeps me full throughout the morning. Things like:

• Hard boiled eggs
• Cottage cheese
• Sausage patties/links

Besides that, I actually pour a bit of milk in the bowl and top with sliced bananas. Seriously, try it. It’s EXCELLENT!
