Hello oatmeal fans– Yesterday I spent the entire day cooking up food to send to you on the blog– Laurel and my mom were my taste testers– 3 breakfasts, a couple lunch treats, 3 dishes for dinner and 2 desserts! It was a real cook-o-rama!! But my favorite dish of the day was this crunchy banana oatmeal. Delish!!
CRUNCHY BANANA OATMEAL
2 bananas, smooshed to a paste
2 2/3 cups oatmeal
4 cups milk
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tab. melted butter (optional)
1/4 tsp. salt
more bananas, sliced
granola
sliced almonds
honey
Mix the smashed bananas, oatmeal, milk, brown sugar, butter and salt up and pour it into a 2 quart baking dish. Cook it up at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Then spoon it into bowls and top it off with bananas, granola, sliced almonds and a drizzle of honey.
If you’re an oatmeal aficionado like me, I promise you’ll like this one!
The Thankful Heart 
Oh Rhonda, Your heart just pops out to me as I read your delightful, beautiful, inspiring, tasty blog. 45 minutes of a quiet Thursday evening and I’m refreshed. Ruth told me about your blog months ago and I set it up on my computer. I have kind of ignored it for a time, but tonight was a grand time of just walking through your pages. Thanks for the blessing. love, Lanny
Holy cow do these look so good! I love this!!!!
