Description
This Banana Zucchini Baked Oatmeal is an easy, make-ahead breakfast recipe that can be sliced and reheated or eaten cold throughout the week! It’s flavored with cinnamon, bananas and zucchini and sweetened with maple syrup.
Ingredients
2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
1 tbsp milled flax seed (optional)
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk*
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 ripe medium banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup shredded zucchini
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F
Add the oats, flax seed, chai seeds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to a large bowl, mix
Pour in the milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract, mix
Add the egg, banana and zucchini, mix until everything is fully and evenly combined
Prep a 9X11″ baking dish** by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray
Transfer the oatmeal batter to the baking dish, smooth with the back of a spoon into an even layer
Bake for 30-35 minutes
Enjoy warm or cool completely to store if making ahead (see post for more details)
Notes
*I use oat milk or almond milk, but any kind of milk will work
**You can also use a square 8X8 pan for slightly thicker pieces, increase cook time by 3-5 minutes.
