Banana Bread Oatmeal Variations
Oats are a simple and healthy breakfast food that can be endlessly altered! Banana bread typically has walnuts, but if that’s not for you, omit them! Or, swap them out for another nut like pecans to maintain the additional texture they provide in the oatmeal.
Looking for some additional sweetness? Try a drizzle of maple syrup! It’s rustic flavors pair perfectly with your banana bread oatmeal.
Another topping that might be more suitable for you is a drizzle of peanut butter. Sometimes I add peanut butter on my freshly baked banana bread and it is INCREDIBLE. If you’re like me, try adding some peanut butter to this dish.
The Health Benefits of Banana Bread Oatmeal
This morning dish is both indulgently delicious yet helps you start your day off on the right foot!
Minute-oats are a quick and easy breakfast staple. They are packed with whole-grains and fiber. Did you know at least 50% of the carbs you eat everyday should be from whole grains? Well, now how much better does a bowl of oats sound!?
The fiber from the oats and banana play a role in healthy digestion and working to keep you full. Plus- this recipe uses a whole banana. That means you’re that much closer to your fruit intake for the day after just 1 meal!
Next up are the walnuts. This nut is high in omega-3’s. A healthy fat! So, in addition to the texture they add to this bowl they are also helping satisfy you, too.
