This baked oatmeal is layered with ripe bananas, juicy blueberries, warm cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey — then baked until golden and set, like a cross between a breakfast casserole and something you’d order at a café. 45 minutes. One pan. Breakfast sorted for the entire week. Reheat a slice each morning, and you’ve got a warm, wholesome start to the day without any extra effort.
-2 ripe bananas, (the riper the better) sliced into coins
-1 1/2 cup blueberries
-1/4 cup honey, or maple syrup
-1 cup uncooked quick or old fashion oats
-1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-3/4 tsp cinnamon
-pinch of salt
-1 cup milk
-1 large egg
-1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly spray an 8 x 8″ or 9 x 9″ ceramic baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
2. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the bottom of the ceramic dish. Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the bananas, along with 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon and 1 tbsp of the honey, then cover with foil.
3. Bake 15 minutes, until the bananas get soft.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the oats, half of the nuts, baking powder, remaining cinnamon, and salt; stir together.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining honey, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
6. Remove the bananas from the oven, then pour the oat mixture over the bananas and blueberries.
7. Pour the milk mixture over the oats, and distribute the mixture as evenly as possible over the oats. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and walnuts over the top.
8. Bake the oatmeal for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the oatmeal has set. Serve warm from the oven. Cut into 6 pieces.
