This Banana Oatmeal Bake is a nice change up from my regular bowl of morning oatmeal. It’s very tasty and reminds me of a healthier version of bread pudding (sans the sugar, butter, and heavy cream). The recipe comes together quickly too, and I used the 30 minute bake time to get ready for my day. I added Ghirardelli 72% cacao chips, which are absolutely delicious, and the bitter chocolatey flavor gives it the indulgence you would expect from bread pudding.
Tip: This recipe can make 2 large servings or 4 smaller servings to have through out the week, when stored in an airtight container.
