Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal

These are a few of my favorite things.  Baked oatmeals are a favorite go-to breakfast for something a little extra special for company or for making ahead.  And of course you can’t go wrong with banana bread!  So this combo definitely caught my eye.  The bananas in this caramelize and add a deep richness that will definitely have you going back for more.  Add some nuts for a sweet toasty flavor and oats for fiber and texture.  This is very mildly sweet, so if you like a sweeter breakfast feel free to add more sugar, or you can serve this with a drizzle of maple syrup.
