5-Minute Banana Bread Oatmeal

I swallow oatmeal every. single. day.  And I dearest it!  Oatmeal is likely my 2d favorite nutrient , 2d exclusively to watermelon (ooooohhhh yeeeaaahhh watermelon flavor is only some the corner!!!).  I get-go loved oatmeal when I was inward high school.  My dad started eating oatmeal inward the mornings to assistance alongside his blood delineate per unit of measurement area as well as cholesterol that was high at the fourth dimension from medication he had to direct hold for his autoimmune kidney illness (which is totally gone at nowadays thank you lot to a WFPB diet!).  Even inward high schoolhouse I had (and nonetheless have) that "I desire to last similar daddy" feeling.  So , I tried oatmeal alongside a bunch of chocolate-brown saccharide as well as loved it.  At that fourth dimension it was my novel favorite dessert.

When I started a Nutritarian lifestyle my junior yr of college inward 2011 , I had oatmeal a few times a calendar week for breakfast , but alongside no chocolate-brown saccharide this time.  I loved it cooked alongside bananas as well as institute milk the most.  Then a few years into eating this agency I started to thin towards having only fruit or a smoothie for breakfast , having oatmeal less frequently.

Now , equally a breastfeeding mom , oatmeal is my everyday morning time companion.  Oatmeal is ane of those foods that is ever suggested to assistance mothers hold their milk supply.  Here is a dainty article almost that.  I'm happy that my daily oatmeal is at nowadays non exclusively practiced for me , but practiced for Ben too.  Since I direct hold oatmeal most every morning time , I've tardily perfected several recipes that I love.  #1 on that listing is Banana Bread Oatmeal.  This is the ultimate bowl of cozy yum yum!
