Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas (mashed)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup almond milk (or any other milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Topping
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 7”x11” baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Crack in the eggs and add honey, melted butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until well combined to create a smooth batter.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats and chocolate chips into the bowl with the wet mixture. Stir gently and thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare for baking: Transfer the oatmeal batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the surface for a flavorful crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the oatmeal is set. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving for best texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and nutrition.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
