Healthy Baked Oatmeal with banana, strawberries and chocolate chips — great for serving during the holidays or to meal prep for breakfast throughout the week. Simply reheat and enjoy! Recipe made in partnership with Almond Breeze almondmilk.
Happy holidays friends! Currently I’m on my honeymoon in one of my favorite places on earth: Australia! We left on the 16th and arrive on the morning of the 18th in Sydney. LONGEST FLIGHT EVER but worth it.
Our travel plans consist of Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Daintree rainforest, wineries, Byron Bay and a few other stops along the way — we certainly have an amazing two week itinerary here before we leave for Hawaii for another week. We’re thrilled to be able to spend this time together as newlyweds and I can’t wait to share all of the details with you. And of course, all of our wedding photos!
MY OTHER RECIPES
Before you all head off to be with your loved ones over the holidays, I wanted to share a delicious healthy baked oatmeal recipe with you that I’ve been making various versions for YEARS I’m a little ashamed of myself for not sharing it until now, but here it is in all its glory:
STRAWBERRY BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BAKED OATMEAL
Just imagine a combination of chocolate covered strawberries and creamy sweet bananas together in oatmeal.
I used Almond Breeze almondmilk in this recipe to keep it dairy free and give the oatmeal a nice creamy texture. The unsweetened vanilla version is my favorite because there isn’t any added sugar yet it still has wonderful flavor thanks to a hint of vanilla. The coconut almond version is also incredible.
WAYS TO ENJOY THIS BAKED OATMEAL
- FOR BRUNCHIN’: This is the perfect recipe to make when you have family or friends over for a brunch. Try drizzling almond butter over it before serving.
- FOR MEAL PREP: If you’re looking to shift your eating habits in the New Year, this recipe is a stellar choice. It’s satisfying, nutritious, packed with fiber and still sweet enough to feel like you’re treating yourself.
- ON THE GO: Once it’s done baking, cut into smaller squares and take it to go as ‘healthy oatmeal bars’. It’s a great pre-workout snack to boost your energy.
