I know, I know it’s been a long time since I last posted. Here’s a quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe for the weekend!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bites 

Healthy baked oatmeal bursting with crunchy peanut butter and banana!

Makes 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon (or more) ground cinnamon
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large egg
• 2 medium bananas, one mashed well with a fork and one sliced
• 2-3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Grease a medium sized casserole dish and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.  Add the milk, egg, 2 mashed bananas, peanut butter, and vanilla.  Mix well.
3. Pour the mixture into the greased dish. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until your desired consistency is reached. I cooked mine the entire 30 minutes and it is almost bar-like.
4. Refrigerate overnight or eat right away! In the morning, drizzle over melted peanut butter and let cool or harden before serving.

Happy Friday!
