Banana Raspberry Baked Oatmeal

Banana Raspberry Baked Oatmeal is a delightful and nutritious breakfast option that combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with the tartness of fresh raspberries. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Optional toppings: additional raspberries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

If desired, arrange some additional raspberries and sliced bananas on top of the oatmeal mixture for decoration.

Bake the oatmeal in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Once baked, remove the oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve the Banana Raspberry Baked Oatmeal warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey.

This Banana Raspberry Baked Oatmeal is not only delicious but also a great make-ahead breakfast option. You can bake it the night before and simply reheat it in the morning for a quick and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
