Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a small casserole dish (mine is equivalent to an 8×8 inch pan).

Mash your banana directly in the baking dish. Top with the oats, chia seeds, and milk. Mix to combine.

Sprinkle on the frozen fruit and shredded coconut. You *can* mix those into the oats but I like to leave them just sitting on the top.

Bake for 25 minutes until the oatmeal is set. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and ENJOY! It’s also delicious with a little bit of nut butter mixed in after baking YUM!

Notes

You can use any kind of berries for this but I really love it with the mixed berries!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana as Natural Binder 🍌
Mash your banana thoroughly until completely smooth to act as a natural binder that holds the oatmeal together, eliminating the need for eggs while creating a creamy texture throughout the pan.
Layer Frozen Berries Strategically 🫐
Distribute frozen berries evenly throughout the mixture rather than on top—they'll thaw during baking and release their juices, creating pockets of flavor without making the bottom soggy.
Toast Coconut for Enhanced Flavor 🥥
Lightly toast your shredded coconut in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding it to the oatmeal mixture to deepen its nutty flavor and add textural contrast to the soft baked oats.
Milk Ratio for Perfect Consistency 🥛
Use a 1:1 ratio of milk to oats for the ideal creamy-but-not-mushy texture; adjust based on your milk choice since plant-based milks absorb differently than dairy.
Pre-soak Chia Seeds 🌱
Mix chia seeds with a tablespoon of your milk 10 minutes before combining with other ingredients—they'll bloom and distribute more evenly, preventing clumping and maximizing their nutritional benefits.
