Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for coating baking dish
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup walnuts or almonds, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup fine-grain natural cane sugar
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
2 cups milk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 1/2 cups huckleberries, blueberries, or mixed berries
Maple syrup, for drizzling
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cane sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to mix evenly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Assemble the Baked Oatmeal: Spread the banana slices evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the berries on top of the bananas. Pour the oat mixture over the fruit, then pour the milk mixture evenly over the oats. Gently shake the dish to ensure the milk soaks into the oats. Top with the remaining berries.
- Bake: Bake the oatmeal for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is set. Let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve and Drizzle: Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup for added sweetness.
