I know some people think of oatmeal as a dull breakfast, a bowl of mush. I disagree. Oatmeal is a versatile base for countless tasty additions — fruit, nut butter, honey, chocolate chips, seeds — the possibilities are endless. I also enjoy creating new baked oatmeal flavors, and my latest favorite is Peanut Butter Banana Berry Baked Oatmeal. The name is long, but it’s a true description of a delicious, satisfying breakfast.
Oatmeal is one of the best breakfasts in my opinion, and I could eat it every day. This baked version delivers complex carbohydrates and more staying power than a plain bowl, especially when you add wholesome toppings or mix-ins. If a typical serving of oatmeal doesn’t keep you full, try this recipe — it’s hearty, nourishing, and perfect for meal prep.
