Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with olive oil.
In a bowl, mix oats, quinoa, half the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg. Stir in milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and half of the melted butter (cooled slightly).
Arrange banana slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 2/3 of the berries, then cover with the dry oat mixture.
Pour wet mixture evenly over the top, ensuring everything is soaked.
Sprinkle remaining berries and walnuts on top.
Bake for 40 minutes, until set and golden.
Drizzle with remaining butter and extra maple syrup before serving, if desired.

Notes

Swap berries for apples or pears for a fall-inspired version.

Add chocolate chips or shredded coconut for indulgence.

Make it vegan by using almond milk and a flax egg.

Pecans can replace walnuts for a different nutty flavor.

Soaking quinoa helps remove bitterness and improves texture.
