Here is a great make ahead breakfast for you or for company. I used wild blueberries in this recipe which you can buy frozen. Wild blueberries are frozen within 24 hours of harvest to lock in their taste and nutrition. Freezing increases the concentration of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant, in blueberries. Wild blueberries also have 72% more fiber, 33% more anthocyanins, and twice as many antioxidants as regular blueberries.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly spray a 8 x 8" or 9 x 9" ceramic baking dish with cooking spray; set asid.
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on the bottom of the ceramic dish.
Sprinkle half of the blueberries (thaw the blueberries and drain well before using) over the bananas, 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon, 1 tbsp of the maple syrup and cover with foil.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the oats, half of nuts, baking powder, remaining cinnamon, and salt; stir together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining maple syrup, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Remove the bananas from the oven, then pour the oat mixture over the bananas and blueberries.
Pour the milk mixture over the oats, making sure to distribute the mixture as evenly as possible over the oats.
Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and walnuts over the the top.
Bake for 30 minutes until the oatmeal has set. Serve warm from the oven. Cut in 6 pieces.
Oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days and heated again to enjoy.
