My good friend Jean L. gave me this recipe last evening.
It is really good-maybe "toooo" good. Give it a try I think you will really love it.
I forgot to put the banana on so did it the last 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten Free rolled oats (Bob's Red Mill)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar-turbinado
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Dash of freshly ground nutmeg-my addition
• 1 cup walnut pieces-chopped
• 1 cup raspberries-any berries work-I used blueberries that were in my freezer-didn't thaw
• 1/2 cup vegan milk chocolate chips
• 2 cups non-dairy milk
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds or chia seeds to 3 Tablespoons water/milk
• 3 Tablespoons Earth Balance-melted
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla-no imitation, please.
• ( Don't leave this out as it replaces the egg.)
• 1 ripe banana peeled, and sliced in 1/2 inch pieces.

Directions:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Generously spray a 8 inch square glass pan.

In large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder,cinnamon, salt, half the walnuts, half the berries and half the chips.

In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg substitute, Earth Balance and vanilla extract.

Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish.Add the remaining berries, walnuts, and chips on top. Add the banana slice to the top.

Pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk go through the oats mixture.

Bake 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the mixture has set.

For and extra good top sprinkle a Tablespoon brown sugar over the top-I did not do this.

Thanks Jean for this yummy recipe.

Enjoy!!
