protein oatmeal banana bake – YUM!
Posted on Mar 31, 2011 in breakfast, clean eating*, snack | 10 comments
I eat oatmeal with vanilla protein powder basically every day and I am getting slightly sick of it….plus I have been running slightly late recently. My point it that I saw this oatmeal bake on a bicycle built for Two and also on Kath Eats Real Food and wanted to try it. The only problem I saw was that the bake didn’t have my morning protein in it. Soo…I modified it a little and this is what I came up with:
Clearly I HAD to use these today…
Directions:
Mix together wet ingredients – except sliced banana.
Mix together dry ingredients.
Line the bottom of a round baking pan with the sliced banana – this took me about 3 of the 4.
-I used a pie pan sprayed with oil-olive cooking spray.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients – make sure it is distributed evenly.
Pour mixture on top the the layer of sliced bananas.
Cover with remaining sliced banana.
I used the baking recommended by Kath Eats Real Food:
26 minutes at 375 and then broil for 3-4 minutes. I should have skipped the broil because it singed the top of mine but it was still a-maaa-zing!! This will be a new breakfast and snack regular.
Nutrients for 1 slice (I cut the pie into 4 large pieces):

Wa-BAM! Yes I said it 
Happy Thursday!

Do you think this would work if I made it the night before? My kids don't like to wait for breakfast. Thanks- looks delicious!
Hi Mariah – thats actually why I made it
I make it Sunday night usually and then cut it into 4-8 pieces and refrigerate. Then throughout the week I just pull a piece out and heat up in the microwave or oven for breakfast. I even like it cold but I don't know how the kids would feel about it. Also try the apple – I think it's actually my favorite.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great! it's in the oven right now.. but I think I might not be able to wait for breakfast
oops sorry posted under my husband's acct..
Haha – I hope you saw my note about skipping the broil – it singed mine
Just made this – very tasty! It's the perfect amount of sweetness. I made a few adjustments based on what we have in the house – chocolate protein powder, flax oil and wheat germ instead of ground flax/seeds, no chia seeds, and unsweetened rice milk instead of cow's. I had to bake it much longer than 26 minutes – could be my oven. On the menu this week: your chili and tilapia stuffed peppers!
So glad you liked it! I still haven't found an exact time that works perfectly every time – even changing the ingredients a little seems to mess with the time so let me know what works and doesn't
hope you like the tilapia as well!
I'm still trying to like oatmeal! This looks great! I'm trying!
I am so, so excited to try out this recipe! Thanks for posting, and what a great way to get so much protein into my mornings!
