Ingredients
For the oatmeal
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 ripe banana mashed
For the blueberry compote
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice just a quick squeeze if you have it
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
For the oatmeal
- Heat the oven to 350. Grease or butter a baking dish - can be 8 or 9 inch square or round, (or use a cast iron). In a bowl, combine the oats, the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, the milk, egg, and the vanilla.
- Spread the mashed banana over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the ¼ of blueberries. Cover the mashed banana with the oat mixture and then drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes, until the top is a little bit golden and the oats are set up.
For the blueberry compote
- Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has reduced and thickened to be thick and syrupy - this should take about 10 - 12 minutes.
Notes
To serve, spoon the blueberry compote on top of the still warm oatmeal and spoon or cut into pieces.
The baked oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to three days. Serve at room temeprature or reheated.
