Introduction
These soft, filling breakfast squares are made with simple ingredients and are perfect for meal prep. They hold together well, slice cleanly, and stay moist for several days.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup honey
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
Method
Stage 1: Preparation
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
Stage 2: Mixing the base
Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk well.
Pour in the milk and honey, then mix until combined.
Stage 3: Adding dry ingredients
Add rolled oats and baking powder into the mixture.
Stir until everything is fully combined and no dry spots remain.
Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes so the oats absorb the liquid.
Stage 4: Baking
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Spread it evenly and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
Stage 5: Cooling
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
This step helps the squares firm up and slice cleanly.
Stage 6: Cutting and serving
Once cooled, cut into even squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for quick breakfasts during the week.
Tips
You can add cinnamon, vanilla, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
For higher protein, mix in a scoop of protein powder or add Greek yogurt on top when serving.
Conclusion
These breakfast squares are a simple, balanced option for busy mornings—soft, naturally sweet, and easy to prepare ahead of time.
