I love oatmeal in the fall, especially baked oatmeal. I can make it ahead of time, reheat for a quick and heart breakfast. Here is a recipe I adapted from SkinnyTaste.com
Ingredients:
2 medium ripe bananas, (the riper the better) sliced into 1/2″ pieces
1 1/2 cup blueberries
10-12 drops of liquid stevia (or 2 TBSP of Honey or Agave)
1 cup uncooked quick oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup milk alternative (cashew, coconut, almond)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly spray a 8 x 8″ or 9 x 9″ ceramic baking dish with coconut oil 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, 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 stevia, milk, egg white, 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 or seal and reheat for breakfast.
