Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
This baked oatmeal recipe is one of our favorite make ahead breakfast options. It has some wonderful omega-3 fats, great fiber, and is a good source of protein! Bonus: the bananas provide plenty of sweetness, so there is very little added sugar. This recipe is highly recommended by my favorite 10 year old (my daughter Claire).

Tips
If your bananas are super ripe, you can put them in the freezer until you are ready to make this. Just make sure you give them time to thaw!
Feel free to add other mix ins! Shredded coconut, nuts, or fruit make great additions to this recipe!
You can mash your bananas by hand and mix by hand, but your oatmeal will be more uniform if you use a food processor or mixer.
Add a bit of Plain Greek Yogurt for some extra protein and probiotics. Add some fruit for some extra fiber.
