Baked Oatmeal with Bananas and Blueberries

Ingredients:

2 medium ripe bananas, (the riper the better) sliced into 1/2" pieces
1 1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup honey (or agave)
1 cup uncooked quick oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup fat free milk (or any milk you desire)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract


Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375° F.  Lightly grease a 8 x 8" or 9 x 9" baking dish.

Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the bottom of the ceramic dish.  Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the bananas, 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon, 1 tbsp of the honey and cover with foil.  Bake 15 minutes, until the bananas get soft. 

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the oats, half of nuts, baking powder, remaining cinnamon, and salt; stir together.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining honey, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.


Remove the bananas from the oven, then pour the oat mixture over the bananas and blueberries. 

Pour the milk mixture over the oats, making sure to distribute the mixture as evenly as possible over the oats.  Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and walnuts over the the top.

Bake
 the oatmeal for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set. Serve warm from the oven.

Serves:  6

MY NOTES:  I use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats - no need to increase the cooking time.  I think they hold up better for leftovers.  This reheats well if you add a little splash of milk to it before microwaving.
