Baked banana bread oatmeal

If you have a little extra time (and patience) in the morning, make baked oatmeal. It takes a bit more effort because of the whole pre-heating deal, but it's so worth it and it tastes like a warm dessert. This is a super basic recipe that tastes so much like banana bread that I often make it for dessert as well! 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Yup, that's it.

Method:

1. Let the oats soak in the almond milk for about 10 minutes. This isn't necessary, but helps the texture a lot!

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Mash the banana (you can add a couple slices to the top), and add all the ingredients together.

4. Put the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes (I like broiling it for a few minutes at the end to make the top crispy). Top with an excessive amount of peanut butter.
