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!

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