Baked oatmeal is something I have really enjoyed making lately. It is surprisingly easy, and oh so tasty! This recipe was a combination of flavors I have never done before, but they went so well together.
I’m hoping this baked oatmeal will give me the fuel I need for tomorrow’s ride. It is actually supposed to warm up a little this weekend. I will be able to do my cycling outside for a couple days instead of inside. Of course when I say it is warming up, the high is still only about 40 degrees. Yep, that is Indiana for ya!
This tasted so much like banana bread. It even had the texture of a bread, and there was no flour involved. The key to a great banana flavor is super ripe bananas. If the bananas are not ripe enough, it will simply lack the banana bread flavor you are looking for. Whenever you have a lot of really ripe bananas, peel them and freeze them. Then whenever you need ripe banana, just take it out of the freezer and thaw it and you are ready to go.
This recipe was perfect to use my banana cream combat protein powder from MusclePharm. It has a really great banana flavor that is not too overpowering. It has the perfect sweetness to complement this recipe.
