Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup oatmeal (rolled or quick oats)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 apple, chopped
Protein and Nuts:
- 60 grams (2.1 ounces) walnuts, chopped
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250 milliliters) milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and preparing a baking dish with a light coating of oil or parchment paper lining.
- Create a harmonious blend by vigorously whisking eggs and milk in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a smooth liquid base.
- Introduce oatmeal, finely chopped apple, mashed banana, and crushed walnuts into the liquid mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Incorporate aromatic spices or flavor extracts to enhance the overall taste profile of the breakfast bake.
- Allow the mixture to rest for approximately 5 minutes, enabling the oats to absorb moisture and develop a more cohesive texture.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it uniformly across the surface.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the top achieves a golden-brown hue and the center sets completely.
- Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bake cool for several minutes, allowing it to stabilize and become easier to slice.
- Cut into portions and serve either warm or at room temperature for a delightful morning meal.
Notes
- Swap bananas with applesauce or mashed pumpkin for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Add chia or ground flaxseeds for extra fiber and nutrition boost without changing texture dramatically.
- Toast nuts beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and create deeper, more complex taste dimensions.
- Experiment with sugar-free alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener if wanting additional sweetness without calories.
