Here's what you'll need:
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
2 eggs
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup milk (any kind!)
Honey, to taste
Peanut butter, for topping
Fresh berries, for topping
Step 1: Mash those bananas!
In a large bowl, mash your three ripe bananas with a fork until they're nice and creamy.
Step 2: Whiskaway!
Crack your two eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas and whisk them together until well combined.
Step 3: Dry ingredients party!
Now, add your dry ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good whisk to make sure it's all incorporated.
Step 4: A splash of milk
Pour in your 1/4 cup of milk and stir it in until the batter is just combined. You don't want it to be too runny, but it shouldn't be super thick either. If it seems too dry, add a splash more milk.
Step 5: Sweeten it up!
Finally, drizzle in some honey to taste. Start with a little and add more until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
Step 6: Baking time!
Preheat your oven to 190°C (gas mark 5). Lightly grease a baking dish (or individual ramekins) and pour your oat mixture in.
Step 7: Top it off!
Here comes the fun part: toppings! Dollop some peanut butter on top of the baked oats, then add a generous handful of your favourite fresh berries.
Step 8: Bake and enjoy!
Bake your banana baked oats for 25-30 minutes, or until they're set and golden brown on top. Let them cool for a few minutes before digging in and enjoying your warm, delicious breakfast!

No milk? No problem! You can use water or even unsweetened applesauce instead.
