Preferably something that will fill me up, as well. And that is healthy.

Tips for Making Almond Butter Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal
- Make sure to stir the almond butter thoroughly before measuring it. You will end up with lumps of dried almond butter in your oatmeal bake if it isn’t stirred properly.
- If you use bananas that aren’t very ripe, you will want to add more sweetener as unripened bananas will not taste as sweet as overly ripe bananas.
- Feel free to throw in some chocolate chips for a bit of chocolaty flavor!
- I like to bake my oatmeal until there are still a few crumbs that stick to the toothpick when it is inserted in the center. This keeps the pieces that are reheated later from being too dry.
