Baked Blackberry Banana Oatmeal

•  2 cups whole oats
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar plus more for serving
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons Smart Balance
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 banana, cut into thin slices
• 2 cups blackberries (thaw if frozen)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use 1 1/2 tablespoons of Smart Balance to coat the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish. 

In a bowl, mix together oats, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. 

In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Smart Balance, and vanilla. 

Arrange sliced banana in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 

Spoon oat mixture evenly on top of banana. 

Cover oats with blackberries. 

Cover the berries with the milk mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar over all.

Bake 40-45 minutes, until the oats have set. 

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. I served this with cubed cantaloupe and nitrite-free chicken apple sausage for Breakfast for Dinner tonight. It was a hit!
