1
Heat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third. Butter a 1-quart baking or soufflé dish. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, coconut milk, egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir in oats; pour mixture into prepared pan.
2
Peel bananas and slice lengthwise. Place bananas cut side up to cover the oat mixture in a single layer (you may need to cut some of the bananas into smaller pieces to fit.) Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons brown sugar over bananas and dot with ½ tablespoon butter.
3
Place dish on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. If desired, place baked oatmeal under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute to caramelize bananas further. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve scoops of warm baked oatmeal with maple syrup and drizzle of cold coconut milk or cream.

Note: Regular milk may be substituted for coconut milk in the oatmeal.
