Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas well. Whisk in eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and milk.
  3. Add oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold with a spatula until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Pour batter into the dish and level the top. Scatter walnuts evenly over the surface.
  5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until edges are golden and center feels firm to a light touch.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice into 6 squares and serve.

Notes

Letting the oatmeal cool for a full 10 minutes is key to getting clean slices. If you want the squares firmer for on-the-go breakfasts, refrigerate them overnight and they’ll hold together even better.
