    I eat oatmeal with vanilla protein powder basically every day and I am getting slightly sick of it....plus I have been running slightly late recently. My point it that I saw this oatmeal bake on a bicycle built for Two and also on Kath Eats Real Food and wanted to try it. The only problem I saw was that the bake didn't have my morning protein in it. Soo...I modified it a little and this is what I came up with:


    Clearly I HAD to use these today...



    Ingredients: 2 cups of rolled oats4 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder 2 tbs ground flaxseed 1 tbs whole flaxseed 1 tbs chia seed 1 tsp baking soda - was supposed to be power - oops! 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon

    1 egg 1.5 cups fat free milk 1 mashed banana

    4 sliced bananas


    Directions:
    Mix together wet ingredients - except sliced banana.
    Mix together dry ingredients.
    Line the bottom of a round baking pan with the sliced banana - this took me about 3 of the 4.
    -I used a pie pan sprayed with oil-olive cooking spray.
    Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients - make sure it is distributed evenly.
    Pour mixture on top the the layer of sliced bananas.
    Cover with remaining sliced banana.

    I used the baking recommended by Kath Eats Real Food:
    26 minutes at 375 and then broil for 3-4 minutes. I should have skipped the broil because it singed the top of mine but it was still a-maaa-zing!! This will be a new breakfast and snack regular.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
