Banana Baked Oatmeal Recipe

This easy banana baked oatmeal recipe is a meal prep breakfast I make on repeat. Thick and chewy with satisfying crunch, it tastes like banana bread but is higher in protein and keeps me full until lunch! Serve it as is or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

The riper your bananas, the sweeter your oats will taste. I like to use bananas that are speckled but still fairly firm, finding it results in thicker, sturdier oat bars. 
Storage: Once cool, leftover baked oats will keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to wrap individual portions with plastic wrap to prevent them from clumping together. To serve, thaw your oats in the fridge overnight. Then, warm them in 30-second increments in the microwave.
