Baked blueberry banana oatmeal with cinnamon and maple syrup is a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of bananas and blueberries with the warmth of cinnamon and the unique flavor of maple syrup. It's perfect for meal prepping, as it can be enjoyed warm or cold, and stored in the fridge for several days.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
- Peel the bananas, place them in a large mixing bowl, and mash them thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until they form a smooth paste.
- Add the nonfat milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Stir well until all the wet ingredients are fully combined into a smooth mixture.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until everything is well incorporated and no dry spots remain.
- Fold in 1 cup of the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them. Ensure they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries on top of the mixture for an appealing look.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This allows the oatmeal to firm up and makes it easier to cut into portions.
- Serve warm and enjoy your baked blueberry banana oatmeal! Feel free to drizzle extra maple syrup on top if desired for added sweetness.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used, but if using frozen, ensure they're fully thawed and drained to avoid extra moisture in the bake.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.
- Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the mixture for added texture and nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
