  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 banana)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Lightly spray an 8×8 inch or similar size baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add milk, plain Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk all the wet ingredients together until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry components.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top into an even layer.
  5. Bake the Oatmeal: Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with flaky sea salt, fresh fruit, extra maple syrup, or any toppings you prefer.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative to make the dish lactose-free.
  • For a crunchier top, sprinkle additional oats or nuts before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated with a splash of milk to maintain moisture.
  • This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger dish for more servings.
