Our banana bread oatmeal is the perfect start to your cold winter day.

Banana Bread Oatmeal

Calling all banana bread fans! Even if you don’t like oatmeal I am sure you will love our banana bread oatmeal. This oatmeal is a hearty breakfast perfect for cold winter days, or any day for that matter. Our quick stove top version makes it easy to whip up fast even before school. Ready in about 15 minutes and will sustain you through until lunch.

Much like making banana bread, this recipe uses your over ripened bananas. It is ok to use frozen bananas. If you are new to making banana bread, it is common to place over ripened bananas right in the freezer until you are ready to use them for bread. We simply wrap them in plastic wrap and toss them in. The only tip I have is do not let the bananas thaw before using. They become a ridiculous mushy mess. Throw them right in the bowl or pot frozen. Bananas thaw so quickly and mash up nicer when frozen anyways.

Making out banana bread oatmeal:

This is a one pot recipe, a kind of “throw it all in there and mix” style!
