You guys. I'm so bad at buying bananas in the summertime. Its like they ripen 5 times after than they do in the winter and I never adjust the amount I buy. So, I end up freezing a few every week. I will never learn.
The one good thing about having too many bananas I have to come up with recipes to use them. I can only make my Coconut Cacao Banana Bread Recipe so many times.
So, today I made a make ahead breakfast. I have a busy week coming up with appointments, work and traveling and its so nice to have breakfast done for the week.
Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is filled with nourishing ingredients that keeps you full and give you energy to take on busy days.
It's loaded with fiber, healthy fats, plant protein from oats and soy milk, and fruit. Its a balanced breakfast in a to go form.
I cut a 9x9 pan of these Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal into 9 squares. I usually eat 2 squares for breakfast. Simply pop them in the microwave for a minute and they're good to go!
