Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, peeled
1 ½ cups plant-based milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Berries

1 pint blueberries (reserve some for garnish)
2 cups strawberries, thickly sliced (reserve some for garnish)

Optional Garnish

Nuts or granola (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mash bananas and combine ingredients: Place the ripe bananas in the baking dish and mash thoroughly with a fork. Add the plant-based milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, stirring well to combine.
Add oats and berries: Stir the rolled oats into the banana mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the blueberries and sliced strawberries carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
Bake the oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes until the oatmeal is set and slightly golden on top.
Cool before serving: Remove the dish from the oven and allow the baked oatmeal to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
Serve and garnish: Serve warm, topping with additional reserved berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Optionally, add nuts or granola on top for extra crunch and flavor.

Notes

This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
You can substitute the berries with any other fruit you prefer, such as raspberries or blackberries.
Use any type of plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk based on your preference.
Letting the oatmeal cool before serving helps it set properly and makes it easier to cut into portions.
For added sweetness, drizzle maple syrup or agave nectar on top when serving.
