I occasionally just love a hot, freshly baked oatmeal. It’s so comforting, nutritious, and filling, and it’s a fantastic meal prep for the week if you don’t love making breakfast in the morning. This Almond Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal really hit the spot this week and is the perfect recipe for those who love almond butter + banana together. It’s lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup, so it’s not over-the-top sweet but still tastes incredible. It’s definitely kid-approved too!

Nutritional benefits of this recipe

Oats are a prebiotic fiber, which helps feed the beneficial bacteria in our gut. They also have vitamins and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and B6. I like using sprouted oats because they are higher in protein, lower in starch, and easier to digest.
Bananas are rich in potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6.
Eggs are a complete source of protein and are one of the richest sources of choline. They also have vitamin D3, folate, etc. Keep in mind, the egg whites are full of protein, while the egg yolks are where all the nutrients are.
Almond butter helps with blood sugar management because it has healthy protein and fat, adding a good balance. They also contain vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants.
Collagen accounts for about 30% off your body’s protein. It provides structure, support, and strength to your skin, hair, nails, muscles, joints, connective tissues, bones, and more. It’s super easy to implement in your diet from adding it to coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, and more. I used Further Food collagen for this!
Maple Syrup – A natural sweetener that’s lower on the glycemic index than refined sugar and packed with minerals like manganese, zinc, and potassium, along with antioxidants.
Grass-Fed Milk – A great source of protein, calcium, and healthy fats. Grass-fed also contains more omega-3s and vitamin K2 compared to conventional milk.

Ingredients for Almond Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

Rolled oats – I specifically used sprouted rolled oats because they’re more nutritious and easier to digest, but regular rolled oats work too if that’s all you have at the moment.

Bananas – Use ripe, spotty bananas.

Almond butter – I recommend using a natural almond butter with just almonds and salt.

Eggs – these help make the baked oats more fluffy and moist, as well as add more protein and essential nutrients.

Collagen – I love adding collagen wherever I can because it adds protein and essential nutrients that are great for hair, skin, and nails. You can omit if you don’t have it.

Milk – I use whole, grass-fed milk, but you can use a dairy-free alternative if needed.

Ground cinnamon – I use ceylon cinnamon, which is healthier than cassia varieties.

Maple syrup – just a little to sweeten! Or you can use honey.

Vanilla extract

Baking powder

Salt

How to make Almond Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk and stir together.
Add the remaining wet ingredients and mix throughly to combine everything.
Let the mixture rest while you preheat the oven to 350°F. This gives some time for the oats to soften a little, which is important for sprouted oats specifically.
Oil an 8×8 baking dish – I used a light stainless steel pan for reference.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish and bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Mine was perfect at 45 minutes in a stainless steel pan. This time may vary based on your oven as well as the type of dish you use.
Remove baked oatmeal from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Modifications and variations

Use peanut butter in place of the almond butter for a peanut butter banana flavor! It’s SO delicious, and I will definitely post a version of this on my website too!
Add some fun additions such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
Make it dairy-free by using cashew milk, oat milk, or almond milk.
If you don’t have collagen on hand, then no worries – you can simply omit it from the recipe.

Verse of the Day: “If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:6-9
