Berry Baked Oatmeal

Total Time: 1 hr
Serves: 6

Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 Tbsp. flax seed
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup pecans, chopped
1 cup sliced strawberries
½ cup blueberries
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup raspberries
2 cups skim or low-fat milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ripe banana, peeled and cut into slices

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, flax seed, salt, raspberries, blackberries, half the pecans, half the strawberries and half the blueberries. (The unused halves will be used to top the oatmeal). 

In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey and vanilla extract.

 Add oat mixture to casserole dish. 

Pour milk mixture over the top of oat mixture, gently move the dish back and forth to help the milk mixture disperse through the oats. 

Arrange the bananas, remaining strawberries, blueberries and pecans on the top of the oat mixture.

Place casserole dish on top of a baking sheet and bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Can serve with syrup, brown sugar, or I recommend adding about a Tbsp of milk before reheating, it adds a lot of moisture. Enjoy!
