I LOVE banana bread. I love quick breads in general, but something about banana bread just feels very homey, bakesale-y, and makes a good welcome-to-the-neighborhood-we're-very-pleased-to-be-your-neighbors gift. But
since it’s summer time, the last thing I want to do is heat up the whole house
by turning on the oven. The good news is
that we can still enjoy the flavors of banana bread for breakfast without
heating up the oven!
If you’re feeling fancy, you can add a tablespoon of peanut
butter and/or chocolate chips after the oatmeal has been cooked. You know, just to make the morning a bit
more bearable.
What you need:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tsp cinnamon
1 C old fashion oatmeal
1C water
1/2 C milk
Chopped walnuts, for topping
What you do:
Combine all ingredients except walnuts in a large,
microwaveable bowl and heat in 30 second intervals, for about 1.5-2 minutes, or
until oatmeal is thick. Remove from the
microwave and add walnuts. Enjoy warm.
