Baked Banana Blueberry Oatmeal

A warm, fruity, and easy breakfast that combines ripe bananas, blueberries, and oats into a comforting dish you can enjoy all week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick or instant)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1–1.5 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1–2 tablespoons chia or ground flax, lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8- or 9×9-inch baking dish, or line it with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Whisk in eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and melted butter or oil.
  3. In a second bowl, mix oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and any seeds or nuts.
  4. Pour the dry mix into the wet mix. Stir until the oats are well coated.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the dish and smooth the top. Add extra berries or banana slices if you like. Let sit 5 minutes so oats hydrate.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are golden. A toothpick should come out mostly clean.
  7. Cool 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with yogurt, a splash of milk, or a drizzle of nut butter.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Frozen blueberries can be used straight from the freezer. Adjust baking time if needed.
