Notes
- Use very ripe bananas: Bananas with plenty of brown spots mash easily and provide the best natural sweetness.
- Mix thoroughly: Make sure the oats are fully coated in the liquid so the baked oatmeal cooks evenly.
- Do not over bake: Remove the dish when the center is just set to keep the oatmeal soft and tender.
- Let it rest before slicing: Allowing the baked oatmeal to cool slightly helps it firm up and slice cleanly.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm on its own or pair with recipes like Protein Iced Coffee, Berry Chia Pudding, or Yogurt Parfaits for a well-rounded breakfast.
