Warm Cinnamon Oatmeal Banana Loaf

This single-serving banana oatmeal bake combines one banana, one egg, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and blueberries in a small 6×6-inch dish. Optional sugar-free syrup can be added after baking.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup dry rolled oats
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon sugar-free syrup, optional topping
  • Nonstick cooking spray or a light drizzle of oil
  • Pinch of salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish, about 6×6 inches.
  2. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and optional salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Stir in the dry rolled oats, then gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a center toothpick comes out clean. Check that the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Cool slightly, then serve the single portion warm with optional sugar-free syrup.

Preparation Notes

Mix the egg completely into the banana before adding the oats. Fold frozen blueberries in without thawing if that is the option being used. Spread the batter to an even depth so the center and edges finish together.
