Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal with Bananas
Baked Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast!! When this pumpkin version first came out of the oven, I wasn’t so sure…but after my first bite I knew I had a winner! Other baked oatmeal recipes I love are Pear, Banana and Walnut and Blueberries and Banana.
Ever think about how perfect a banana is? My favorite way to eat them is when they are bright yellow, with no brown spots. I always throw a banana in my bag for a quick snack on the go, or after a work-out, but does that mean when they get all dark brown they are bad? No way! I never throw bananas out… ever! Once they go start to get brown spots, I use them for smoothies, baked oatmeal, banana nut pancakes, banana nut cookies, muffins, banana bread and more. The riper they are, the sweeter they become and if I know I don’t plan on using them right away, I freeze them for banana ice cream (recipe coming tomorrow). If you have ripe bananas laying around, give this baked oatmeal a try. It’s so good, it almost tastes like a banana-pumpkin nut bread. In fact, I told my toddler it was cake, and she ate it (cold).
