Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Pour the berries into the small sauce pan with the sugar, and turn the heat on to medium.
Combine the corn starch with the lemon juice and water to form a slurry, then add it to the berries.
Cook the berries for 10 minutes, or until they are broken down into a compote-jam texture. Set aside.
Spray a small baking dish or casserole with cooking spray. I used an 8.5" x 11" 2.5qt casserole dish for this.
Add the bananas to the bottom of a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork.
Add the applesauce, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and extract and stir to combine.
Add the milk. Whisk together.
Add the oats. Fold in.
Pour the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
Add the berry topping to the top of the oatmeal, in an even layer.
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until set up.
Allow this bake to sit and cool for about 10 minutes until cutting, this will allow it to firm up.
