Oats that taste like cake for breakfast? That’s what you’re getting with this delicious and healthy banana raisin baked oats.
There’s something about eating this banana raisin baked oats for breakfast. With its cake-like texture and chewy sweet raisins, the kids feel like they are having a treat for breakfast. And I feel super happy that they are eating something very nutritious.
What are the health benefits of oatmeal?
Full of antioxidants and fiber
Full of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B1, vitamin B5, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, folate
Known to lower blood sugar levels, promote a healthy gut and lower cholesterol
With no oil or butter, this recipe is more “skinny” than the typical muffin or banana bread recipe. Also, if your bananas are very ripe, you can add even less maple syrup than the recipe calls for.
I also add some flax seeds which are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and potassium. They are such a terrific super food to add in a lot of dishes because you usually don’t notice the difference in taste or texture.
Flavour combo ideas:
Blueberry and walnuts
Raspberry and almonds
Cacao nibs and coconut
Peanut butter and jelly swirled in
Shredded carrots and raisins
Best part is, no one will know they just ate oatmeal!
