Blueberry Banana Breakfast Bake (Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Honey)

Save

What we found, and what we are guessing

The blueberry banana bakes we read are mostly baked oatmeal: they add oats, and they bake at 375°F for 25 to 40 minutes in an 8x8 dish, then cool 5 to 10 minutes. The reel has no oats and no flour, only bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey and blueberries, so it will be softer and more custard-like than an oatmeal bake. We chose 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes and a knife test because a flourless bake can look set before it is. We could not read reader reviews, so the tips come from the recipes. Amounts are our estimates.

Ingredients

Batter

• 3 large ripe bananas, brown-speckled, about 1 1/2 cups mashed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, about 200 g
• 2 Tbsp honey, plus a little to drizzle

Topping

• 1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

Pan

• 1 tsp butter or oil, for greasing

Steps

Step pictures are AI illustrations, not our dish. Our photos are coming after we cook it.

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

   

2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.

   

3. Whisk in the eggs, Greek yogurt and 2 Tbsp honey until smooth.

   

4. Pour the batter into the dish and scatter the blueberries over the top.

   

5. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and the center is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

   

6. Cool 10 minutes, cut into 6 squares and drizzle with a little honey.

   

Notes

• Contains eggs and milk. Cook until the center is set, because this has raw egg in the batter before baking.
• Honey is not for babies under 1.
• The honey adds about 40 g of sugar to the whole pan (about 7 g per square, by USDA values worked by hand) and the bananas and blueberries add natural sugar. We make no lower-sugar claim.
• The reel gives no amounts or times. Every amount and time here is our estimate.

Swaps

• Use maple syrup in place of the honey; untested.
• Use frozen blueberries without thawing and add 5 minutes; untested.
• Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the batter; untested.

Storage and reheating

Storage: Cool completely, then refrigerate covered within 2 hours. It keeps up to 4 days. We have not tested freezing.

Reheating: Warm a square in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, or eat it cold.

Where this recipe comes from

• Inspired by Blueberry Baked Oatmeal with Greek Yogurt from The Plant Based School, which we used for the dish size, oven range and cooling time.
