I really
love baked oats with bananas on top because they get all caramelized and delicious.
The extra step
of baking the oats is so worth it, then you've got it ready to go for the week.
I have an array of breakfast flakes on hand for porridge, overnight oats,
baked oats etc..
If you love
baked oats then you will absolutely love these (just think — mini baked oat bars).
But, I
prefer baked oats to overnight oats — it's just that oats that haven't been cooked are much more nutritious.
But you're totally right — there's something so much more satisfying
about baked oats!
-LSB-...] these gingerbread
baked oats last week, I may have gone on a gingerbread rampage.
But there is something about the crumbly texture of sweet,
baked oats paired with softened dates that is just so delicious.
I've been a big fan of
baked oats in the past, but sometimes they can be a bit «stodgy» and you may want something lighter for breakfast (Especially as you head into the warmer part of the year).

I was craving
some baked oats this morning, but didn't have any ripe bananas on hand.
Instead, I go for porridge with various toppings,
baked oats, big smoothies, pancakes, waffles, chia puddings, overnight oats, sweet potatoes with nut butter and homemade treats like muffins, scones or breakfast cookies!
And as much as I love my oats + nut butter + apple combination,
baked oats are such a nice change.
These baked oats hit the spot.
