Banana Nut Oatmeal

I love breakfast on the weekends, but during the week? Not so much. As a notorious weekday breakfast-skipper I have tried in vain for years to establish a morning routine that includes a balanced breakfast, but always fail miserably. It’s not that I don’t have enough time or access to appropriate breakfast ingredients. It’s certainly not due to a lack of creativeness in the breakfast recipe department – a quick look through the archives on this site is evidence of that. No, I’ve decided it’s one of two things: laziness or some kind of breakfast aversion disorder. I don’t like to think of myself as lazy so I’m going with the aversion one – this whole breakfast avoidance issue is definitely a clinical problem.

This banana nut oatmeal I’m sharing with you today is something I enjoyed on a recent quiet Saturday, but maybe you’re a dedicated breakfast eater during the week? If so, then you’ll love this! It may look fancy and high-maintenance, but it takes very little time to toss together. Also, it’s very filling – oatmeal, walnuts, and bananas will get you to lunchtime feeling pretty good about life. No need to worry about that hangry I need to eat something NOW before I diiiieeeee craziness that tends to hit mid-morning on those days we skip breakfast. Which, for me, happens five days a week (I’m sorry co-workers).

So, I’m going to research options for weekday breakfast therapy and in the meantime, I hope you give this a try. Whether you make it during the week or on the weekend it’s a happy way to start the day!
