Baked Oatmeal

One of our favorite healthy breakfasts around here is baked oatmeal. There are many variations possible with this recipe, but our favorite is banana with chocolate chips. I prefer to use the banana as a substitute for sugar. It makes the oatmeal sweet enough to skip the sugar in the recipe. If you'd like to see the original recipe, you can do so here. The recipe below is the version we enjoy at our house.

Liquid Ingredients:
1/2 c. oil
2 eggs, beaten
1c. milk
2 bananas, mashed

Dry Ingredients:
3 c. quick oats
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/4-1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Beat liquid ingredients together.

Combine dry ingredients.

Add to liquid ingredients and stir.

Pour into muffin or mini-muffin tray. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
