Strawberry Banana Cream Baked Oatmeal Squares
Strawberry Banana Cream Baked Oatmeal Squares
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 3/4 cup chopped strawberries (about 4 large berries)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray – I used a 10×7 dish, but an 8×8, 9×9, round cake pan or another size close to that will work too.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, mixing until combined.
- 3
Measure out the cup of milk, then whisk in egg and vanilla extract. Add half and half to the milk mixture, then stir it into the dry oats.
- 4
Mix in mashed banana and melted butter, then chopped strawberries, then scoop the batter into the baking dish.
- 5
Bake for 30-33 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is set.
- 6
Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with strawberries, bananas and milk or half and half infused with vanilla extract.

Note: If served immediately, squares may not hold together perfectly. If they are left to cool, they should hold together fine and be able to be eaten with your hands.
