My kids love oatmeal, my kids love fruit and we have had amazing weather and have a bunch of super sweet strawberries just asking to be used in something good.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries or raspberries, fresh or frozen, divided
**Can add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts if desired **
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix the oats, half of the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the syrup, milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
- Spread the sliced bananas in a single layer over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of the berries. Sprinkle the dry oat mixture over the fruit in an even layer. Pour the liquid ingredients evenly over the oats.
- Sprinkle the remaining nuts and berries over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is browned and the oats have set. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
