2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
