Blended Banana Bread Baked Oats

If you’re tired of your usual breakfast options, then let me introduce to blended baked oats. You get all the nutrition of baked oats but the texture of an indulgent baked good.

These are well-balanced with carbs & fiber from the oats and banana and protein from the cottage cheese & egg (and milk if you choose one with protein). They’re also easy to make—simply blend all the ingredients together, pour into dishes, and bake.

Try these for a quick, satisfying breakfast that feels like comfort food.
