Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg: 1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; no need to thaw)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional topping: extra blueberries or banana slices

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: milk, egg (or flax egg), maple syrup, melted butter or oil, and vanilla.
  4. Layer the sliced bananas over the bottom of the baking dish. Scatter half the blueberries over the bananas.
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry just to combine. Pour the mixture over the fruit. Sprinkle the rest of the blueberries and the nuts (if using) on top.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Let it rest 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm. Add yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or extra fruit if you like.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats make it softer; steel-cut oats do not work here without changes. If you like a crisper top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
