Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup walnuts or 1 cup pecan pieces
  • 1 cup mixed berry (frozen)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 banana, peeled cut into 1/2-inch slices

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, half the walnuts/pecans, half the berries and half the chocolate chips. (Save the other half of berries, walnuts/pecans and chocolate chips for the top of the oatmeal).
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish.
  • Arrange the remaining berries, walnuts/pecans and chocolate on top.
  • Add the banana slices to the top then pour the milk mixture over everything.
  • Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set.
