Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 glass milk (about 240 ml)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 banana, sliced
- 3 eggs
Optional additions I sometimes use:
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts
- Raisins
- Chia seeds
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Oats
Place the oatmeal into a mixing bowl and pour in the milk. Let it soak for about 5–10 minutes. I usually do this first because it helps the oats soften and gives the bake a much better texture.
Step 2: Add the Fruits
Add the chopped apple and sliced banana to the bowl. The banana naturally sweetens the mixture, so you really don’t need sugar at all.
If you like warm flavors, this is the perfect time to add a little cinnamon.
Step 3: Mix in the Eggs
Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix everything well until fully combined.
The eggs help bind everything together and make the oatmeal bake soft, fluffy, and satisfying.
Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish
Grease a small baking dish lightly with oil or butter. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30–35 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set.
Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. I honestly think it tastes even better slightly warm with coffee or tea in the morning.
Cooking Tips
Use Ripe Bananas
The riper the banana, the sweeter the bake will taste naturally.
Don’t Skip Soaking the Oats
Soaking helps create a softer, cake-like texture instead of a dry bake.
Add Protein
Sometimes I mix in a spoon of Greek yogurt or a few nuts for extra protein.
Meal Prep Friendly
I usually store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat slices in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
This oatmeal bake tastes great:
- Warm with coffee
- With Greek yogurt on top
- Drizzled with peanut butter
- Alongside fresh berries
- As a healthy afternoon snack
Honestly, I’ve even eaten it cold straight from the fridge and it’s still delicious.
