-
Mix the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
-
Whisk the milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla in a second bowl.
-
Arrange half the banana slices over the base of the dish and scatter over half the blueberries.
-
Spread the oat mixture over the fruit and pour over the milk mixture, then tap the dish so it settles through.
-
Top with the remaining banana, blueberries and the walnuts.
-
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until set in the middle and golden at the edges.
-
Cool 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm with milk or yogurt.
Chef’s Tips
- Use rolled oats, not instant. Instant oats turn to paste.
- Tap the dish after pouring so the milk reaches the bottom.
- It firms as it cools, so squares hold together best after 15 minutes.
Pairing Suggestions
- Greek yogurt
- A splash of cold milk
- Fresh berries
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate up to 5 days and reheat squares in the microwave for 45 seconds. Freeze portions for 3 months.
