I made Bananas Foster Baked Oatmeal! Cooked, roasted bananas are delicious — and naturally sweet enough that you don’t need much added sugar to make them absolutely delicious! Generally speaking, bananas work great as a replacement for butter/fat in many baked goods.
I had some rum extract in my pantry, so I decided to do a “Bananas Foster” baked oatmeal. Vanilla extract will also work fine — don’t feel like you need to run out and buy rum extract to make this recipe!
Baked oatmeal probably reheats well, but I’ve never reheated it. I just grab it right out of the fridge and eat it cold; it’s like banana bread for breakfast. Grab & go breakfasts are important to me, because if I didn’t have breakfast meal prepped and ready in the fridge, I wouldn’t eat it.
