Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bake

A wholesome and sweet baked oatmeal dish with strawberries, chocolate chips, and a hint of cinnamon, topped with Greek yogurt and maple syrup.

This Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bake recipe combines the wholesome goodness of old-fashioned oats with the sweetness of brown sugar and the comforting warmth of cinnamon. The process begins with mixing the dry ingredients, including oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, the wet mix is prepared by whisking together whole milk, mashed ripe bananas, plain Greek yogurt, an egg, and vanilla extract. The wet ingredients are then poured into the dry, ensuring a thorough mix. Sliced strawberries and chocolate chips are gently folded into the batter, adding bursts of fruity and chocolatey flavors. This mixture is then transferred to a greased or lined 9-inch square baking dish and baked at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden and set. After a brief cooling period, the baked oatmeal is ready to be served in warm squares, topped with a dollop of Greek vanilla yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of indulgence.
