Ripe bananas and nutty brown butter turn plain baked oatmeal into a custardy, caramel-kissed breakfast that reheats beautifully all week.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter — 1 stick
3 large ripe bananas, mashed — about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts — divided
1/3 cup maple syrup — plus more for serving
1 banana, sliced — for topping; helps the top caramelize

Instructions

1Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Brown the butter: melt it in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling until it foams, turns amber, and smells nutty, 4–5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl to stop the cooking.
2Whisk the brown sugar into the warm brown butter until dissolved. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
3Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly moistened. Fold in 1/2 cup of the walnuts.
4Spread the mixture into the prepared dish. Top with sliced banana and remaining 1/4 cup walnuts. Drizzle with the maple syrup.
5Bake 35–40 minutes, until the center is set, the edges are golden, and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
6Rest 10 minutes before serving warm with extra maple syrup. Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days; rewarm in the microwave or oven.
