Ingredients
For the Oatmeal Bake
- 1/2 C creamy peanut butter
- 3-4 tbsp honey (If your bananas aren't very ripe, you may want to add more sweetener)
- 1 C mashed ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 C your choice of milk

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, honey, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Carefully whisk in milk.
In a large bowl, whisk together oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. (If you prefer a drier oatmeal bake, you'll want to bake it a few more minutes.)

Cut oatmeal bake into pieces and drizzle syrup over the top.

Okay I had to make this last night for breakfast this morning. It's so good! I left out the chocolate chips (because January! Lol) but it is SO moist and way better than the last baked oatmeal I made. Thanks for the recipe!
