Craving a sweet breakfast that will fuel you for a great day? This Baked Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal is made from good for you ingredients but tastes indulgent!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish with melted butter or spray with a nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Peel the ripe bananas and add to a separate bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas. Then add milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the bananas.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the oats and seasonings. Stir until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until oatmeal has set. 50 minutes will be soft and more like a traditional oatmeal. 55 to 60 minutes will be firmer so you can slice into squares. Once removed from the oven, let the oatmeal sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
Scoop or slice into 9 servings. Top with additional maple syrup or honey, nutella, whipped cream, vanilla yogurt, or fresh banana slices and serve!
