With just 5 ingredients this easy Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is super quick to prepare and just perfect for meal prep.

With delish banana bread flavor it makes a really hearty breakfast that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It's a healthy breakfast that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Here is what you need at a glance, along with some important ingredient notes:

Oats - These should be old-fashioned/rolled oats, not steel-cut or quick oats.
Bananas - This is a great recipe to use up your overripe spotty bananas. If your bananas aren't really ripe and spotty though you can still use them. I'd recommend adding another tablespoon of your chosen sweetener to compensate though.
Milk of choice - Any dairy-free milk such ascashew milk, soy milk, oat milk, oralmond milk is fine to use.
Sweetener - Maple syrup, sugar, or agave. Maple syrup will give the best flavor.
Cinnamon - My go-to but you could use pumpkin spice or apple pie spice.

How To Make Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal

Can't wait to make this easy vegan breakfast? The full printable recipe is below, but first, let me walk you through the steps to set you up for success in your own kitchen. I recommend watching myrecipe videoif you're more of a visual learner:

1 - Baked oatmeal recipes don't get any easier than this! Mash 1½ bananas then mix in all of the other ingredients.

2 - Press the mixture into a baking dish, then slice the rest of the banana and decorate the top with the slices and optional toppings like chocolate or nuts before baking.

Flavor Variations

Make the oatmeal just as it is or add mix-ins/toppings of choice. Chocolate or nuts (or both) are my favorite additions. Berries like blueberries and raspberries (fresh or frozen) work well too, as do coconut and dried fruits like dates, raisins, or figs.

Serving Suggestions

Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is great enjoyed warm or cold just as it is for breakfast or a healthier dessert, but accompaniments that work really well include:

A drizzle of maple syrup or drippyalmond butter, peanut butter, or tahini.
A dollop ofvegan yogurt or coconut cream.
Fresh berries or fresh banana slices.
Some dairy-free milk such ascashew milk, soy milk,almond milk, oroat milk, poured over it like you would boxed breakfast cereal.

Storing Leftovers

Let the Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal cool completely then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. You can reheat the entire dish, or individual portions in the microwave or oven. Time will vary depending on how much you're reheating. For individual portions, I usually cook mine on full power for about 40 seconds.
