Our breakfast plans for Valentines day are set and we can’t wait to wake up and enjoy this baked, chocolate oatmeal on the day of LOVE.
Zia and I whipped this recipe up in minutes, and man was it hard to resist diving in after dinner. That is the one and only downside to prepping breakfast the night before. The temptation to enjoy it for dessert instead :).
I digress!!!–Back to Valentines Day breakfast!! If you need something quick and delicious, that you can prepare ahead of time and is easily reheated, this is it!!! Grab ONE bowl , heat your oven to 375 and get started!
Thx @eatingbirdfood for the recipe & inspiration!
Y’ALL know I pretty much adapt every recipe I try, and I adapted her recipe a tiny bit too. Banana + Chocolate + Peanut Butter is the way to my family’s ♥️ so of course I had to use our key ingredients for Valentines Day.
