Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, mashed banana, egg, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the berries, nuts, or chocolate to the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into squares or scoop into bowls.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of milk, yogurt, or a touch of additional syrup, if desired.
