Banana Oatmeal – Don’t throw out that last unwanted overripe banana! You see it sitting there that last straggling spotted banana, but what do you do with it? There’s not enough for banana bread or cupcakes and it’s way too ripe and soft to simply eat on it’s own. I don’t know how many times I’ve been in this situation and have sadly just tossed the laststragglerout because I can’t find a purpose for it.

I’ve even tried freezing that last random banana laying around but I never really end up using it. I just end up with those dark, strangely colored bananas lounging around my freezer and there so unappealing I’ve never dared actually use them =) and end up tossing them out anyway.

So, I was sitting there one day tired of wasting so many good, prime bananas I decided I needed to find a use for them. Something with a similar, soft texture that would be enhanced by the delicious flavor of bananas. Here it is, utterly amazing banana oatmeal.

One of the best bowls of oatmeal you will ever eat! And what a perfect way start your year off right with this healthy,antioxidantand nutrition packed oatmeal. I love when I can make something I feel great about eating that actually tastes amazing, not like a flavorless piece of cardboard that I have to talk myself into eating because it’s “good for me.”

I even feel okay about throwing in the small bit of butter or cream because the fat will help a body absorb more nutrients, right =)? Have a great new year everyone and start your year of right with this banana oatmeal, something healthy ANDdelicious. It doesn’t have to taste like old socks to to healthy and taste delicious =).
