I have recently become baked oatmeal obsessed! A few weeks ago, I made Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (recipe here) which was the perfect fall oats recipe! Now I’m ready for the winter oats recipes haha. This gingerbread baked oatmeal I topped with caramelized bananas which if you aren’t making- you need to add these into your breakfast rotation ASAP!!

For the oatmeal, I mixed all my ingredients in a bowl, then poured the mixture into a small cast iron skillet (linked here for you). You could use a small baking pan too- whatever you have on hand! Make sure you spray it well beforehand or it will stick.

I love adding collagen into my recipes (I like this brand– you can use code “choosingbalance” for a discount). It’s totally tasteless, doesn’t change the texture, and packs in the protein! Plus I personally think it’s helped with my joint health and digestion.

I baked it for 25 minutes and then just went about my normal morning routine while it baked! Even the toppings were pretty minimal, for example the caramelized bananas only take a minute or two to make.

To make them- heat a skillet over low medium heat, then add in coconut oil. Next, coat banana slices with cinnamon and cook for about a minute on each side! That’s it! Soooo simple and trust me- they’ll be your new go to!

After you bake the oats for 25 minutes- add a tsp of coconut sugar and switch your oven to broil. Then cook for 3 minutes to melt the sugar in-DROOL WORTHY. To finish the dish, I also added plain Greek yogurt and organic PB. I highly recommend adding allll the toppings to this dish!

Hope you enjoy this festive recipe!!
