You will enjoy Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal! The flavor of banana bread permeates baked oatmeal, in this filling and delicious family-friendly breakfast!
The other day I was looking at recipes online (a hobby of mine) and discovered this one for Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal.
I love banana bread and I love oatmeal, so I had a hunch I would enjoy this breakfast treat. Yep- I was right… this is a delicious, filling and flavorful breakfast!
The recipe calls for all the goodies found in a good loaf of banana nut bread. This includes bananas, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg, etc. The main difference is this recipe uses old-fashioned rolled oats and is baked in a casserole dish!
Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is really delicious, and the taste reminds me of my Mom’s Banana Nut Bread.

How To Make Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. These are oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir the ingredients together, to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together milk, mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir. Add the chopped pecans and mix well.
Spray an 8″ square baking dish with non-stick spray (or grease with butter). Pour the baked oatmeal batter into the prepared dish.
Bake the Oatmeal
Bake the oatmeal in a preheated 350°F. oven for 25-30 minutes. Mine took 30 minutes to completely firm up in the middle.
During the last 5 minutes of baking time, put a cookie sheet with extra chopped pecans in the oven to lightly toast (to be used as garnish later… optional).
When the dish is finished baking, remove the pan of banana bread baked oatmeal and sheet of toasted pecans to a wire rack. Sprinkle the top of the oatmeal with toasted chopped pecans.
The next thing you do is to let the hot baked oatmeal cool down to room temperature.
Serve The Baked Oatmeal
You can eat the banana bread baked oatmeal warm, but I truly think it tastes best when eaten at room temperature. Once totally cooled, it was easier to cut into pieces but serve it however you prefer.
Once the oatmeal has cooled, cut it into slices, and serve. You could make this the night before you want to serve it, so it’s ready to go in the morning.
Yum… this baked oatmeal tastes like banana bread, but it’s packed with oats! The old fashioned oats make it an even more filling and nutritious breakfast treat!
I’m glad I tried this recipe for banana bread baked oatmeal. I hope you will consider making it, as well. The leftovers the next day were wonderful!
Baked oatmeal is really delicious, and it is a great way to get kids (and grown-ups – *cough, cough*) to “eat their oatmeal”!
Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
