A wholesome and delicious one-pan fluffy mixed berry protein oatmeal that combines ripe bananas, rolled oats, chia seeds, and egg whites for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast option. This baked oatmeal is easy to prepare, packed with protein and fiber, and can be made vegan-friendly by swapping egg whites for extra milk.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup egg whites (or replace with 2 cups milk for vegan option)
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 ½ cups mixed frozen berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the oatmeal.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Generously spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mash Bananas: Place the ripe bananas into the baking dish and mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, milk, egg whites (if using), and almond extract (if using) to the mashed bananas in the baking dish. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.
  5. Add Berries: Evenly distribute the mixed frozen berries over the top of the oatmeal mixture.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool slightly. Slice into portions and optionally top with a dollop of yogurt before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit egg whites and increase milk to 2 cups to maintain moisture and protein.
  • Use fresh berries if preferred, but frozen berries provide convenience and year-round availability.
  • Spraying the baking dish well helps in easy serving and cleaning.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for quick breakfasts.
  • Optional almond extract adds a nice flavor boost but can be omitted if unavailable.
