Start the day with this totally scrumptious Banana Baked Oatmeal, topped with Greek Yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Got things to get sorted in the morning? Baked Oatmeal is great for those kind of mornings. Mix up the ingredients, place in the oven, you could even go and have your shower, then come down, brew a nice cup of tea or coffee and sit down and enjoy a warm out of the oven oatmeal dish like this Banana Baked Oatmeal.
It’s not a surprise I love oats. I mean have you seen all the Oat Recipes on here already? They are such a versatile ingredient.
Oats always remind me of my gran. She would always have a huge pot of oats on the go each morning whenever I would go and stay with her. We would grab a bowl, drizzle with cold milk and some brown sugar and dig in.
It was the best ever and so it kind of brings a comfort memory to me. When I feel sick, I often crave a bowl of porridge.
It’s funny how you fancy things from childhood memories at times like that, right?
My pantry cupboard just wouldn’t feel the same if it didn’t have a bag of oats sitting in there, just incase.
I recently made this delicious Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, and so wanted another variation to choose from in the mornings.
During the week, by the time I get the kids up for school, sort out their breakfasts and get their lunches in their bags and everything else that needs sorting out, I don’t get a chance to eat myself, so breakfast is usually eaten once I get back from walking them to the bus.
That’s where a dish like this Banana Baked Oatmeal is perfect. As I can get it in the oven to bake just as I am leaving the door and by the time I get back it is almost ready.
You could just serve this Banana Baked Oatmeal with some fruit and yoghurt, but for this version, I thought it would be perfect with a drizzle of maple syrup and oh boy was I right. I couldn’t quite decide if it was breakfast or dessert, because it was worthy enough of being called a dessert.
For sweetening the Banana Baked Oatmeal, I used some Sukrin Gold a little in the mix and then some sprinkled on top for an lovely golden top, but any sweetener will do, just be aware the taste may differ if you use a different brand of sweetener as some tend to have a bit of an aftertaste. I like Sukrin, because it is the only sweetener I have found that has no aftertaste. So worth investing in some if you haven’t already.
This Banana Baked Oatmeal is gluten free if you ensure the oats you used a gluten free ones and it is also suitable for vegetarians.
If you don’t fancy one big dish of this in the morning, it will also work baked as 3 smaller muffin sized ones that you can enjoy through out the day, you just may need to reduce the baking time by 10 mins or so.

Hi, Love your website! Soooo handy for an Irish girl in Canada, thank you. Just wondering why the bananas are syns? I thought bananas were free?
Hi Ciara, so happy to hear you are finding my blog useful. In regards to fruit, only fruit when in it’s raw form is free, any time you cook, puree or blend fruit it then has a syn value, because it is easier to consumer and not as high satiety. Hope that helps.
Well another big thumbs up from me 🙂 It was like eating warm Banana Cake for breakfast. I didn’t have it with Maple Syrup, I had a tsp of Choc Shot and some berries and now I am well and truly full up. Thank you for all of these wonderful recipes and your blog, it is certainly stopping me from falling into that rut of eating the same thing over and over x
So glad you enjoyed it Carolyne. It’s nice to be able to have something like this and still be on plan.
Totally delicious! Split mixture into two and had one warm for breakfast with fruit, yogurt and butterscotch syrup and saved my other one to eat cold after lunch. It was just as good cold with a cuppa !
Love your website, definitely one of the best for SW recipes.
Another great recipe, filling and tasty
Hi I’d really like to make this as it looks amazing! but do I have to use the gold sweetener or can i use what I have at home? 🙂
you can use any sweetener of choice. Sukrin is my preferred choice because it has no after taste. Hope that helps 🙂
Hiya,is it oatmeal or oats you use please x
hi Penny, it is oats 🙂
Hi i was thinking of making the muffin sized portions for snacks, do you know how long they will last for or if i can freeze them? Thanks.
Hi Liz, yes these should freeze fine. I normally keep for up to 3 days from baked if not freezing.
Hi this was tasty and made a nice change! I was wondering though the middle and bottom of the cake was still like porridge but with a baked top , would this be based on my mixture being too runny or not being baked long enough? Any help appreciated x
Sounds like it needed a little more cooking it won’t be completely like the top of the cake all the way through, but shouldn’t be like porridge either.
