• Total: About 1 hour

Servings

6–8 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1¾ cups milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup raisins
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
3. Whisk in eggs, milk, and vanilla.
4. Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, raisins, and nuts if using.
5. Stir until everything is well combined.
6. Let the mixture rest for 5–10 minutes so the oats absorb the liquid.
7. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
8. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the center is firm and the top is lightly golden.
9. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.

• If following a strict no-sugar diet, remember that raisins contain natural sugars, so adjust the amount based on your needs.
