This week is Breakfast for Mom week here on RMK. Whether you want to have your own mom over for breakfast, send the link to the recipes as a “hint” for your spouse to make along with the kids, or your an awesome spouse wanting to make a wonderful surprise breakfast – I have the recipes for you. They are all simple to make but taste special enough to make mom feel special. First up is yummy banana bread oatmeal.
This recipe uses those overripe bananas that I find frequently in my kitchen but then it is topped with ripe bananas to ramp up the banana flavor. It is also finished off with cinnamon and brown sugar along with walnuts (which are completely optional). I love walnuts in banana bread, so I had to include them in this oatmeal! I made this banana bread oatmeal with regular oats, but you can use quick oats if you prefer. Just be sure to check out the note in the recipe on how to adapt for the quick variety.
