Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Banana (mashed)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish with non-stick spray or a light layer of oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5

If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.

Step 8

Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares or scooping into bowls.

Step 9

Serve warm as-is or topped with additional peanut butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
