Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet banana mixture, stirring until everything is evenly incorporated.

If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
