Baked Banana Oatmeal

We have been saying for literally years that we wanted to make Kath’s Baked Banana Oatmeal.  Finallllllllly we made it.  I really don’t understand why we procrastinated for so long.  It is not hard to make at all.  Baked oatmeal is so different than stove top oatmeal.  You will have to give this recipe a try to see what we mean.  We also loved the caramelized topping.  If you really want to put this bowl of oatmeal over the top, enjoy with a nice sized scoop of Peanut Butter.

Kath’s recipe was originally made to serve 4, but we cut her recipe in half and served it in individual bowls instead of in a large baking dish.
