No milk, no sugar microwave baked oats

Healthy gluten-free banana baked oats recipe - high protein breakfast

This recipe was born out of a rushed morning and a single overripe banana sitting on my counter. I didn’t want to waste it, and I needed something quick, healthy, and filling-without milk or sugar. So, I threw together a few pantry staples: oats, an egg, and cinnamon. Just a few minutes in the microwave later, I had a warm, cake-like baked oats dish that tasted like a cozy hug.

What surprised me most? It was naturally sweet, thanks to the banana-and so satisfying! Since then, it’s become a go-to breakfast in my kitchen, especially on busy weekdays. It’s mess-free, and incredibly easy to customize with toppings like nut butter, seeds, or a few chocolate chips when you feel indulgent.
