¼ cup flax seed

¼ cup chia seeds

2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

¼ cup brown sugar, or 1/3 cup maple syrup

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Reserve 2 tablespoons each of the pecans, flax seeds, chia, and coconut flakes and set aside.

In a large bowl combine the remaining pecans, chia, flax seeds, and coconut flakes, the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.

Layer the banana and strawberries in the baking dish and spread the oat

mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with the blueberries and raspberries, and then top with the reserved pecans, flax seeds, chia, and the coconut flakes.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is crisp and the middle is set. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
