Oatmeal Banana Bake with Cranberries and Raisins

Grease a baking dish (about 9×9 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg (if using). Mix well.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is well combined.
4. Add the Mix-Ins
Fold in the raisins, dried cranberries, and nuts (if using).
5. Bake the Oatmeal
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
6. Cool and Serve
Let the oatmeal bake cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm as a breakfast or snack!
