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
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve with warm milk poured over top. Enjoy!
  5. 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.
