Notes
If you want to add 1/2 cup chocolate chips, they are fantastic in this baked oatmeal for a chocolate peanut butter banana baked oatmeal.
To caramelize bananas, melt a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil in a hot non-stick skillet. Add sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and caramelized. Top with ground cinnamon if desired.
