Ingredients

2 medium ripe bananas ((the riper the better) sliced into 1/2" pieces)
1 1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup honey (or maple)
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 fat free milk (or any milk you desire)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly spray a 8 x 8" or 9 x 9" ceramic baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
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. Cut in 6 pieces.

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds, optional
1/8 teaspoon fine table salt
1 very ripe large banana
1 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup blueberries

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. You want the mixture to be 3 to 4 inches high in the dish so it doesn't dry out.
Combine the oats, 1 tablespoon of the dark brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nuts, if using, and salt in a large bowl.
Mash 1/2 of the banana in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, vanilla and egg until combined.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Very gently fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
Pour the oatmeal into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 banana crosswise and arrange the slices in an even layer over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar (see Cook's Note). Bake until the top is slightly browned and the oats are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips: Achieving the Perfect Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Bake

- Use overripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be in your bake. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include chopped nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate chips. - Bake until the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Serve warm or at room temperature. This bake is delicious on its own or topped with yogurt, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey.
