Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, I stir together 2 cups rolled oats, ⅓ cup protein powder, and 2 tsp cinnamon until well combined for this banana oatmeal bake.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, I whisk 2 mashed bananas, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth, creating a sweet base for this healthy baked oats.
Combine and Add-Ins
- I pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring well to combine. I fold in ⅓ cup hemp seeds and ⅓ cup chocolate chips for a nutty, indulgent protein-packed oatmeal.
Bake
- I transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. I sprinkle extra chocolate chips and banana slices on top if desired. I bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown. I cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 6 servings.
Serve
- I serve warm with yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup, savoring this banana oatmeal bake.
