Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
Blend the Batter: In a blender, combine the oats, milk, banana, eggs, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the oats are fully incorporated.
Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips by hand to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without blending them.
Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips and banana slices for added flavor and decoration.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, indicating the oatmeal is cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

You can use any milk of your choice—dairy or plant-based—for a dairy-free option.
Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, so ensure your banana is soft for best results.
Adding extra toppings like nuts or fresh fruit can enhance texture and flavor.
The baked oatmeal can be reheated in the microwave or oven before serving.
For a vegan variation, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg).
