This baked oatmeal is about as stripped-down as it gets: oats, mashed banana, powdered milk, and hot water stirred together and baked until warm and set.
The banana adds natural sweetness so there’s no added sugar involved.
It’s diabetic-friendly, vegetarian, and the kind of recipe that works just as well for meal prep as it does for a lazy weekend morning.
Variations
- Coconut Raisin: Skip the banana and add 2 tablespoons raisins and ¼ cup shredded coconut with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Nut Butter Drizzle: Swirl a spoonful of peanut or almond butter on top before baking for extra protein.
- Berry Loaded: Fold in a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries before baking for bursts of juicy tartness.
Kitchen Tips
- Use the ripest banana you have. Brown spots mean more sweetness and a softer texture.
- Don’t overbake or the oatmeal dries out. Pull it when the center is just set but still slightly soft.
