  3. Whisk the eggs, milk, kefir, vanilla and half of the brown sugar into the mashed banana until smooth.
  4. In a second bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and half of the walnuts.
  5. Stir the oat mixture into the banana-milk mixture and pour it into the baking dish. Let it sit 5 minutes so the oats start to soften.
  6. Toss the banana coins with the remaining melted butter and lay them over the top. Scatter on the remaining walnuts and sprinkle the remaining half of the brown sugar over everything.
  7. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set to 160°F (71°C), the edges are golden and the banana topping is bubbling and caramelized.
  8. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into 4 squares and serving warm.
