Banana Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

This is another version of baked oatmeal which I think I liked better.  The bananas added a creaminess an some natural sweetness.   This is a dish that is great the next day, heated in the microwave with a drizzle of maple syrup on top [the way my toddler prefers it].

Ingredients

• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter - melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla paste (or extract)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2-3 ripe bananas - cut into slices
• 1 1/2 cup blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees.
2. Butter an 8x8 dish and cover bottom with banana slices. Then sprinkle 3/4 cup blueberries over top bananas and set aside.
3. In another bowl beat together milk, egg, butter, vanilla paste and maple syrup.
4. Add oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
5. Pour mixture over blueberries and bananas.
6. Sprinkle the top with blueberries and cook in oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. 
7. If desired, drizzle the top with more maple syrup.
