Baked Oatmeal

I found this recipe on urban netster's blog. Their recipe is gluten-free but since I didn't have gluten-free oats I have modified their recipe to match what ingredients we had on hand. We divided this recipe into 2 smaller pans this morning, so we added an extra banana, one pan had marionberries while the other had blueberries.

Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free rolled oats (used old-fashioned oats)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnut pieces (did not use)
1 cup raspberries {any berries work}
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted (did not use)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F and generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, half the walnuts, half the strawberries and half the chocolate. (Save the other half of strawberries, walnuts and chocolate for the top of the oatmeal). 
In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. 
Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining strawberries, walnuts and chocolate on top. Add the banana slices to the top then pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats. 
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar.
