I found this recipe over at http://thrivinghomeblog.com/ and I fell in love at first bite! I had just started my journey to healthier eating and one of the hardest things for me to do is eat breakfast. I love oatmeal but sometimes I don't have time to cook it in the morning. This delicious creation tastes like I'm eating dessert for breakfast and it's good for me 🙂

Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick cooking or regular rolled oats
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅓-1/2 cup honey (I prefer raw honey)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup peanut butter or almond butter, melted or softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 ripe bananas, smashed
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans.
- Mix together first four ingredients (oats through salt) in a large bowl. Next, mix together wet ingredients in a smaller bowl (from honey through bananas). Stir wet ingredients into the dry and combine. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
- Spread into the pan(s). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. If you like it a little crunchy on top cook for a few minutes longer.
- Serve with warm milk poured over top. Enjoy!
- Freezer Meal Instructions: If you want to freeze this and bake later, prepare according to directions but freeze it before baking. Wrap tightly in a few layers of plastic wrap and one of foil and place in the back of the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and baked according to directions. Or defrost in the microwave and bake.
