Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts

Baked Oatmeal with Apple, Banana, and Walnuts

Ingredients

1 cup oatmeal

1 glass of milk

1 apple, chopped

1 banana, sliced

3 eggs

Vanillin sweetener (to taste)

60g walnuts, chopped

Directions

Prepare the Oats:

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of oatmeal and 1 glass of milk.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the milk.

Prepare the Fruits:

Chop the apple into small pieces.

Slice the banana.

Mix the Batter:

After the oats have soaked, add the chopped apple and sliced banana to the bowl.

Crack the 3 eggs into the mixture and add the vanillin sweetener to taste.

Mix everything well until fully combined.

Add the Nuts:

Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Bake:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).

Pour the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the baked oatmeal to cool completely before cutting it into squares or slices.

Serve as is, or with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
