  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

Combine the oats, half the nuts, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, half the butter, and the vanilla.

Step 3

Arrange bananas in a single layer on the bottom of the coated baking dish. Sprinkle with two-thirds of the berries, then cover with the oat mixture. Slowly drizzle milk mixture over the oats. Gently tap dish on a work surface to distribute liquid. Scatter remaining berries and nuts across the top.
