A delightful baked oatmeal recipe featuring the natural sweetness of bananas and the crunch of walnuts, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Using parchment paper can make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, fine salt, and chopped walnuts.
Toast the walnuts beforehand for a deeper flavor.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas and whisk in the low-fat milk, pure vanilla, brown sugar, and the large egg until well combined.
Ensure the bananas are fully mashed for a smooth mixture.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined.
Avoid overmixing to maintain a good texture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or chilled, cut into bars or scooped into bowls.
Serve with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor.
