Banana Coffee Oatmeal Bake

I have been trying to expand my breakfast recipe book to provide more options to my clients and this one is a perfect fit!! We had friends visiting and I made this to have available for an easy breakfast. I also hard boiled some eggs for the side. It was so easy and was a hit!!

With anything oatmeal based, I try to add protein where I can to make it a more balanced meal. You’ll see Greek yogurt in this recipe for that reason. Also, like I said, having eggs on the side is a great addition too!

Here is the recipe:
