Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, egg, melted butter, and mashed banana until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using). Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the oatmeal to set further and make it easier to slice.

Step 9

Serve warm, topped with fresh berries or an extra drizzle of milk if desired. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 4 days.
