Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Butter, melted
• 1 large Banana, sliced
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar sized casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is evenly moistened.

Step 5

Stir in the melted butter, ensuring it is mixed evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the sliced bananas, spacing them out evenly.

Step 7

Pour the oatmeal mixture over the bananas in the baking dish, spreading it out with a spoon to make sure the surface is even.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh or frozen berries across the top, incorporating them slightly into the oatmeal mix for some of them to sink in.

Step 9

Add the chopped nuts on top if you are using them, for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal has set.

Step 11

Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into portions. Serve warm, with extra milk or yogurt if desired.
