Every so often, we’ll share a Jade staff person’s favorite healthy recipe. This Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal comes from Ellen, whom you might run into at a class or the front desk.
“I tend to make this on Sundays and then reheat it for breakfast during the weekdays. I like it best served warm with almond milk and walnuts on top!”
Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal (serves 8)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (about 3 medium) mashed bananas
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 2½ cups old-fashioned oats
