Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 55 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Yield: 6


Ingredients

2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups almond milk

1 large egg (or 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed)

2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 ripe bananas (1 mashed and 1 sliced)

1 1/2 cups fresh quartered strawberries (divided)

1/4 cup chocolate chips (divided)

cooking spray

additional strawberries, bananas and milk for serving


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add in milk, maple syrup, egg, coconut oil, vanilla and mashed banana. Stir well to combine.

Gently fold in 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 of your banana slices and 1/8 cup of chocolate chips.

Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Scatter the remaining strawberries, banana slices and chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the middle of the bake is set (it might still be slightly wet from the strawberries but that’s okay). The top/edges will be golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. This will allow the baked oatmeal to set a bit more. Portion and serve. Top with additional fresh strawberries, banana and a splash of milk.
