# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to distribute spices evenly.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly to the edges.
06 - Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the edges are golden brown. The center should be firm to the touch.
07 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into 6 equal portions.
08 - Top each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh banana slices, chopped nuts if desired, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Serve warm.
