Gluten Free Banana Pancake Bake (Printable Recipe)

Fluffy banana oat bake with chocolate chips—gluten-free and easy for busy mornings.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 3 ripe bananas, peeled
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

→ Toppings

07 - 1/3 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

→ Optional Add-Ins

08 - 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
09 - 1/2 cup well-drained crushed pineapple
10 - 1/4 cup shredded coconut
11 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
12 - 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
13 - 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
02 - In a blender, combine the bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, oats, monk fruit sweetener, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Allow the blended mixture to sit for 5 minutes to let the oats absorb some liquid for better texture.
04 - Stir in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Optionally, swirl some chips into the batter for even distribution.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the edges pull slightly from the pan and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
06 - Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally topped with maple syrup, berries, or whipped cream.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and flavor.
02 - For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use almond milk if needed.
03 - Run a knife under hot water and wipe between cuts for cleaner slices.
04 - To reheat, microwave slices for 20 seconds or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to crisp edges.
05 - To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil; store up to 3 months.
