This baked oatmeal is made with perfectly tender spiced oatmeal and sweet and tart fruits. It’s topped with crispy coconut pieces and pecans. The recipe calls for raspberries–blackberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries would work as well. The spices are infused with warmth and flavor when they are blended in the hot brown butter. Baked oatmeal can be kept in an airtight container up to 4 days. Wrap the oatmeal in foil, and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Or microwave each portion on high for one minute.

Instructions Checklist
Step 1 Preheat oven to 375°F Lightly spray a 8-inch square baking dish in cooking spray. In a small saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until butter becomes golden brown and has a pleasant nutty smell, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add butter to a large bowl. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg. Let cool for 5 minutes. Step 2 In a large bowl, combine the oats and baking powder with 1/2 cup of the pecans. Mix well. Mix the butter mixture with milk, maple syrup, egg and vanilla. Stir to combine. Mix in the oat mixture. Step 3 Place bananas in one layer on the bottom of a baking dish. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup raspberries. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup raspberries on top. Next, sprinkle coconut over top. Finally, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of pecans. Bake for 35 minutes in a preheated oven, or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes. If desired, serve with maple syrup.
