Want a healthy breakfast option that actually tastes good? This Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal is fantastic! Made with oats, bananas, eggs and good nut butter, this healthy baked oatmeal recipe is a fantastic option for busy mornings!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 9" baking dish with non-stick baking spray. I like and prefer coconut oil spray. Set pan aside.
In a mixing bowl, mash two of the bananas (set one banana aside for slicing to top the oatmeal.) To the mashed bananas, add the eggs, milk, nut butter, honey and vanilla. Whisk together well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
To the wet ingredients stir in the oatmeal and salt. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a rubber scraper.
Top with the chocolate chips and the remaining sliced banana.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing into 8 bars.
Enjoy right away or refrigerate or freeze for later. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
The chocolate chips are optional ingredient and can be omitted, if desired.Sweetener Option: if you're looking to cut some calories, substitute the honey with Granular Monk Fruit Sweetener. To add additional protein, you may add 1/2 cup of good quality vanilla or unflavored protein powder or collagen protein powder. This will increase the grams of protein per serving.These can also be baked into muffin cups. Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake for 28-30 minutes.
