Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is a cinch to make, and is full of juicy blueberries and banana slices! It's an easy, yummy breakfast!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9"x9" baking pan with non-stick spray.
Stir together oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add milk, melted/cooled butter, beaten eggs, blueberries and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine. Add banana slices; gently stir them into batter, until fully incorporated.
Pour oatmeal mixture into prepared baking dish, spreading batter evenly. OPTIONAL- you can also top the dish with ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans if desired, before baking.
Bake at 350°F. for 45-50 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set. Oven temps can vary;, I suggest checking it at 45 minutes, and then bake longer, if necessary. Oatmeal should be golden brown on top.
TIP: If you wish the top to be more browned, put the baking dish under the broiler (5"-6" away from heating element) and let it brown more. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do this step, be sure to check it every 30 seconds and rotate the pan until browned to your liking (approx. 1 minute or so total). Keep a very close eye on it, so it does not BURN (and ruin your nice breakfast)!
When done, remove baked oatmeal from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool. Once cooled to room temp., cut it into 9 pieces ( 3" x 3" each). Enjoy!
NOTE: You can use fresh OR frozen blueberries for this dish. If using frozen, there is no need to thaw them.
