Cinnamon Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal
Cinnamon Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal
I love a recipe re-mix. This peanut butter banana take on baked oatmeal is something I started playing around with after the success of the Cherry Chocolate Almond Baked Oatmeal recipe. This is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas and have an easy-to-heat-and-eat make ahead breakfast with an energy supporting balance of protein, fiber, and fat!
