Peanut Butter and Banana Baked Oatmeal

After discovering how life-changing (well, close) Brownie Baked Oatmeal can be, I knew I had to try other forms of this make ahead oatmeal breakfast. Peanut Butter and Banana Baked Oatmeal did not disappoint.

Little people go crazy over this stuff. I mean it. Make a lot! I serve it with a little milk over the top.

One of my favorite parts of a simple recipe like this is that you can make two at one time and freeze it for later. As you probably know, Freezer Meals are our passion and specialty around here. So, I included Freezer Meal directions at the bottom of the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 – 1/2 cup honey (I prefer raw honey)
• 1 cup milk (any kind will do)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flax, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and bananas. (Tip: I find it’s much easier to throw all of the wet ingredients into the blender instead.)
4. Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
5. Spread into the dish. Bake at 350°F until firm around the corners and still a little soft in the middle, about 20-25 minutes. If you like it a little crunchy on top, cook for a few minutes longer.
6. Serve warm in bowls with milk poured over the top. We also like fresh berries on top. Enjoy!
