Oatmeal, Fruit and Nut Bread image

This is a tasty bread with very little fat-virtually none if you use the nonfat buttermilk and leave out the nuts. I've only made it with raisins, but I'll bet it would be really good with the dried cranberries also.

2 cups/7 oz/200 g rolled oats
1/2 cup/2 oz/60 g walnut pieces, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup/2 oz/60 g natural cane sugar or maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Scant 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
2 cups/475 ml milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch/1 cm pieces
1 1/2 cups/6.5 oz/185 g huckleberries, blueberries, or mixed berries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C with a rack in the top third of the oven. Generously butter the inside of an 8-inch/20cm square baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix together the oats, half the walnuts, the sugar, if using, the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, if using, the milk, egg, half of the butter, and the vanilla.
  • Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle two-thirds of the berries over the top. Cover the fruit with the oat mixture. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries and remaining walnuts across the top.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on the top and serve. Sprinkle with a bit more sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen fruit. Fresh fruit is ideal, but frozen fruit works well too. If using frozen fruit, thaw it before adding it to the oatmeal.
  • Add your favorite nuts. Chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pistachios are all great options.
  • Use a variety of spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other spices like cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
  • Don't overcook the oatmeal. Oatmeal is best when it's cooked just until it's tender. Overcooked oatmeal will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the oatmeal with your favorite toppings. Brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, and nuts are all popular choices.
