Baked Banana Split Oatmeal

February 22, 2012 by

The following is a post from Andrea Green.

Don’t let the decadent name fool you. Baked Banana Split Oatmeal really is a healthy choice! This recipe is made with both whole grain oats and fresh fruit, but the addition of a bit of dark chocolate on the top means your family will soon add this recipe to their favorites list!

I add greek yogurt to the top of mine because I like the tangy taste to offset the sweet. Plus, it adds a little extra protein to the meal. However, I suppose if you were going for “Mom of the Year” you could use a bit of real whipped cream. Just don’t forget to put a cherry on top.

    WOW! I rarely eat oatmeal because it triggers my diverticulitis…but every once in a while, I bite the bullet because I love oatmeal….this is one of those bite the bullet times! I can’t wait to try it!
