Peaches and Coconut Cream Baked Banana Oatmeal with Peach Maple Syrup
Serves 15 mins prep30 mins cook
This baked oatmeal is healthy, vegan, gluten-free, and anything but boring. There’s peaches, banana, raisins, coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla for layers of flavor and texture. It’s whisked together in one bowl in 5 minutes before being turned out into a pan and baked for about 30 minutes. Why babysit stovetop oats when you can throw this into the pan and it’s ready in a half hour. If you don’t like coconut milk, use another milk. If you don’t like raisins, omit. Try canned pineapple, fresh apricots, nectarines, plums, or apples based on what’s in season. Frozen blueberries, strawberries, or any berry medley would be great. Use about 1 1/2 cups.

Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside. 1 In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana. 2 Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to incorporate. 3 Stir in the oats, optional raisins, and baking powder. 4 Fold in two-thirds of the diced peaches. There were 6 peach halves in the can, and I folded in 4 of the 6 halves (already diced) into the batter. Reserve remainder for the syrup. 5 Turn mixture out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. For a nice visual pop, sprinkle a few peaches and raisins on top. 6 Bake for about 30 minutes, or until oatmeal is set in the center and there’s no liquid pooling and it’s not jiggly. Because ingredients, ovens, and preferences vary, bake until your oatmeal is done. Allow to cool in the pan while preparing the peach syrup. 7 In a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl, combine the maple syrup, reserved peaches, and heat for about 1 minute on high power to warm. 8 Slice or scoop out the oatmeal onto plates or bowls and top with syrup. Oatmeal is best fresh, but will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave as desired. Extra peach syrup will keep airtight for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave as desired.View original recipe
