By nancystrini

Easy and tasty. Probably good for you, too.

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked oatmeal, quick or old-fashioned
• 1/2 cup toasted and chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, not packed
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 1/2 t cinnamon
• 2 cups skim milk
• 1 egg
• 2 T butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 2 t vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (don't thaw)
• 2 bananas, peeled and sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, mix together oats, half of the walnuts, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter, and vanilla; add to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

Fold in the blueberries.

Generously butter the bottom of an 8 " pan and add sliced bananas. Pour batter over bananas and top with remaining walnuts.

Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until top is golden and the oatmeal is set. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
