    Does anybody else feel like every morning is a chaotic race against the clock? I know it is for my family - by the time I get my morning workout in, shower, get the kids ready and attempt to look somewhat put-together myself, time for breakfast seems to be minimal.

    No matter how busy the morning is, I'm not one to skip breakfast - I truly believe it is the most important (and most delicious!) meal of the day. A couple of my favorites are these Healthy Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, protein-packed Cottage Cheese Pancakes, fruit and yogurt smoothies, and Sausage and Sweet Potato Hash. But recently I came across a baked oatmeal recipe and was intrigued by it.

    I tried a couple different recipes then decided to "healthify" (pretty sure that's not a word), and bring some fun flavors into the picture. I mean, who can say no to chocolate and peanut butter?!

    Baked Oatmeal is like a cross between regular oatmeal and bread pudding - such a treat! Whether you eat it right out of the oven or refrigerate and heat up a square each day, it's soooo delish!

    Notes

    Recipe Notes & Substitutions
    Banana: If you don't have any bananas in the house, use applesauce instead.
    Milk: Any kind of milk should work for this (skim, 2%, almond, coconut, etc)
    Peanut Butter: I've also tried this recipe with powdered peanut butter (PB2) and really liked it - it still has great peanut butter flavor but with fewer calories and fat. If you decide to go this route, simply increase the milk to 1 ¾ c.
    Chocolate Chips: You can also use regular chocolate chips (instead of mini). I like mini because you get a little bit with every bite!
    Maple Syrup: If you don't have any maple syrup, you can use honey or agave nectar instead.

      Hey Kelsey, these look great! You mention that you can use applesauce instead of bananas. How much applesauce?
      Thanks!
