BANANA BREAD BAKED PROTEIN OATS
One reason that I love making baked oats is it’s like making a mix of a dessert and a breakfast. Not to mention, when you blend your oats into oat flour it kind of feels like you’re baking a cake! These banana bread baked protein oats are really simple to mix together quickly for a sweet treat or on-the-go breakfast option. Give them a try to switch up your usual rotation!

Ingredients
coconut or avocado oil spray
3 medium 3 sized ripe bananas, mashed
3 3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp 1 vanilla extract
1/4 cup 1/4 maple syrup
2 cups 2 gluten-free oats, blended into a flour (or ~1+1/2 cups oat flour)
100 g 100 vanilla protein powder
2 tsp 2 baking powder
1/2 tsp 1/2 salt
3/4 cup 3/4 canned coconut milk (about 1/2 13.5oz can)
1/2 cup 1/2 + 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a square pan (8×8 or 9×9 will work) with coconut or avocado oil spray all over.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until there are no large chunks left. Mix in the beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
- Incorporate the blended oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt into the liquid ingredients until just combined, then pour in the coconut milk and mix again until you get a smooth batter.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the greased pan. Evenly spread the batter, top with the remaining chocolate chips, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cut into four even pieces and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. I recommend serving with some fresh cut fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup!
This is delicious! My kids ate it up! It’s so great to have something to make for them that they like and has good nutrition!
I have never enjoyed a gluten free banana bread until this recipe! It definitely doesn’t taste like a typical banana bread, but is still delicious and has a ton of protein
8×8 and 9×9 did not work. I ended up cooking it for 40 minutes on convection and the middle still wasn’t done, only the edges. Will try again with a larger pan.
These were so easy and so good! Everyone loved them!
What can I use instead of protein powder? I’m not a fan of it.
I know oven temps vary, but mine also took 45 minutes to bake in an 8×8 pan. I suspect the larger bananas I used are partially to blame. I did omit the maple syrup and thought it was perfectly sweet. This is so good – well worth the extra wait! I will make again, probably in a larger pan to expedite baking.
I’ve been making this for the past few weeks as meal prep to have with eggs for breakfast and I love it!! Such a good way to get extra protein in the morning
This tastes amazing! I would also say to use a larger pan. I used 8×8 and had to bake for 45-50min.
I also found I had to bake for about 40 minutes. The second time I made these in a jumbo muffin pan and it took 30 minutes. I added walnuts, reduced the milk to half a cup, and just sprinkled some chocolate chips on top. They’re great!
can i use coconut milk that comes in a carton than canned?
Can you use oat flower instead grinding your own oats?
I’ve made this multiple times and it’s delicious and easy! Eat it as snack or breakfast. Sometimes drizzle PB on top! Yum!! Thought it might work with frozen blueberries as well so might try that too!
These were so easy and so good!!
This has become a weekly breakfast staple in my household! It is so easy to make and delicious. I found an easy substitute to make vegan is 1/3 cup of applesauce for 1 egg. Thanks Jenn for another winner!!
This is so delicious!! I made on a Monday and we were fresh out of it by Wednesday afternoon. Toddler and picky eating husband approved! So delish with some yogurt and berries on top. Tastes like a treat
