Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
2 bananas ripe
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk any milk will work
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Brown sugar topping

1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Glaze (optional)

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl (or directly in the casserole dish), mix the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in one bowl: bananas, rolled oats, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Combine the oat mixture well (I like to use a whisk).
Next, pour the oatmeal mixture into a non-stick or greased casserole dish.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly on top of the oatmeal mixture.
Bake oatmeal in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown and firm in the middle.
To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle on top of the cinnamon roll baked oats and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Don't overbake. Remove the baked oatmeal when the center is set and no longer looks wet or jiggly. It will continue to firm up as it cools, and overbaking can make it dry.
Let it cool before glazing. Give the baked oatmeal 5–10 minutes to cool before adding the glaze. This also gives it time to set so it's easier to slice.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat individual slices for 30–60 seconds in the microwave. For the freshest result, add the glaze after reheating.
