BAKED OATMEAL WITH BERRIES RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with melted butter or coconut oil; set aside.
• Assemble the oatmeal. Whisk the butter or coconut oil, egg or flax-water mixture, milk, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in oats and any fruit or nut mix-ins.
• Refrigerate the oatmeal overnight. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat the oven and stir the oatmeal. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator while the oven heats. Uncover and stir to redistribute the oats and milk.
• Bake the oatmeal for 45 minutes. Bake, uncovered, until puffed and the center is just set, about 45 minutes. Nuts can be sprinkled on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. Serve warm with desired toppings.
