This healthy banana berry baked oatmeal is incredibly easy to make with one bowl and frozen berries, so you can whip it up any time for you, baby, and the whole family! With no added sugar, it's the perfect breakfast for baby led weaning and toddlers. (gluten-free)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium very ripe banana (the browner the better)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil, melted (or melted butter or avocado oil)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a small baking dish (6x8 inch or similar) with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the banana, getting out as many lumps as possible.
  3. Add the egg, milk, vanilla and melted coconut oil. Whisk well to combine.
  4. Stir in the oats, chia or flax seeds, and cinnamon. Gently stir in the berries until evenly distributed.
  5. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until set in the center.
  6. Let the oatmeal cool in the dish for 5-10 minutes so that it sets up completely before cutting.

Equipment

Notes

  • For gluten-free, make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.
  • You want your banana to be very ripe (at least some brown spots) since it provides the sweetness in the oatmeal.
  • Feel free to swap the mixed berries for just blackberries, blueberries or strawberries.
  • If the berries are large, let them thaw slightly and break up with a spoon before stirring into the batter. This especially helpful if you're serving to young babies.
  • If you are going to be cutting into finger-shaped pieces for baby led weaning, make sure to let the oatmeal cool in the dish to set up so that it cuts more cleanly.
  • You can also bake in muffin cups for oatmeal muffins. Scoop batter into 6 muffin cups (I love the silicone muffin cups for easy release!) and start checking for doneness around 20 minutes.
