- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or regular milk)
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick.

- Add oats: Stir in the rolled oats completely, ensuring the oats are evenly distributed through the wet mixture to create the batter.
- Pour into pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and slice: Allow the oatmeal bake to cool slightly in the pan before slicing into squares to serve.
- Serve: Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
