RECIPE | Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars


Wow that's a lot of B's! I had another one in their but I took it out cause I thought it was too much, ha. I'm a preschool teacher, what can I say, I notice alliteration like that.

Anyway, back to this recipe. I'm not really much of a breakfast person usually. If I have the time to cook pancakes with bacon or biscuits & gravy then I can be, not that never happens. So on the mornings when I'm rushing out the door to head to work, I need something quick to prep & quick to eat. I saw this on Pinterest & thought I would give it a shot.

It's kind of a cross between a cobbler & a cake, but it's got healthy stuff in it to keep you going through the morning. Here's the origional pin.

INGREDIENTS:
-pinch of salt
-3/4 tsp. cinnamon (I'd do a little more)
-1 cup milk (any kind you like)
-1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 Tbsp. butter (melted & cooled)
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
-1 egg
-1/2 tsp. baking powder
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-2-3 bananas
-1 cup berries (any kind you like, I used about 2 cups)
Combine the syrup, butter, milk, & egg together (be careful that your butter is not too hot or it will scald the egg - I think that's what happened to mine even though I let it cool)
Combine the oats, cinnamon, & salt.
Slice the bananas (I used about 2 1/2) & cover the bottom of your buttered/sprayed baking dish.
pour half the berried on top of bananas (I used about double of what the recipe called for cause when I poured half a cup in it just didn't look like enough;)
Pour the oat mixture over the bananas & berries. Then pour the egg mixture over that. Top with more berries (:
Put it in the oven to bake. 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
When it's done this is how it will look. Amazing right?! It looks more like a dessert to me & I always have room for dessert.
Just look at those plump juicy berries & perfectly browned edges. YUM.

ENJOY!
