Baked Oatmeal With Fruit

• 2 cups oats (anything but instant or quick cook)
• 1/4 cup muscavodo (or brown) sugar plus enough for a sprinkle later
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 orange - the zest and juice
• 1/2 cup walnut pieces - broken up to make them smaller
• 1/2 cup dried mixed fruit like cranberries and cherries or apricots and raisins or dates
• 1 cup blueberries divided into two portions
• 2 large ripe bananas
• 3 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan soy spread/coconut oil)
• 2 cups milk ( or soy milk/almond milk/rice milk)
• 1 large egg ( or applesauce/mashed banana/vegan egg replacer/ground chia and flax seeds)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes
• yoghurt to serve (or coconut milk or soy milk yoghurt)

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F.
2. Butter or oil an oven safe dish (mine is 28 x 20cm/11x 8 inches).
3. Thoroughly mix the first 9 ingredients (using only half the blueberries) in a large bowl to distribute everything evenly.
4. Slice one banana and arrange on the bottom of the dish.
5. Cover with the dry mixed ingredients.
6. In the same bowl that you used for the dry ingredients, lightly whisk the egg.
7. Slowly whisk a a cup of milk into the cooled butter to amalgamate it and pour it and the second cup of milk onto the whisked egg together with the vanilla and the orange juice and whisk again.
8. Slowly and evenly pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients.
9. Scatter over the remaining portion of blueberries and the coconut flakes (some seeds would be nice too).
10. Top with the slices from the second banana.
11. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
12. Sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the top and leave to cool a little.
13. Serve warm with yoghurt.
14. Portions can be heated up in the microwave or eaten cold during the week
