with toasted walnuts & maple syrup … adapted from Pumpkin ‘n Spice
Once I tried that Peanut Butter Chocolate Baked Oatmeal, every baked oatmeal recipe that crossed my path had me wondering .. is this as good as that was? I found this brilliant Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal from Pumpkin ‘n Spice and I couldn’t wait to try it! I thought of the blueberries in my fridge (that it was high time I found a place for) and how well blueberries and bananas go together, and totally decided this was a wonderful breakfast just waiting to happen at my house.
I woke up the next morning with a mission on my mind … some over-ripe bananas on my counter, those blueberries in my fridge and a hankering for a hearty good, healthy breakfast. When I pulled it out of the oven, I couldn’t wait to taste it, but I had to rush my daughter off to school, so I scooped up a sloppy square into a container and took it with me to work. I felt a little bad eating this as I was chatting with a coworker about work, but I couldn’t help it! I wanted to experience this while it was still warm and fresh. It tastes a lot like banana bread (with an oatmeal twist) and the juicy blueberries and crunchy walnuts on top totally make it a breakfast experience worth savoring.
