Yes, I did just use the words adventure and oatmeal in the same sentence. I was even referring to the oatmeal as a part of my adventure. Let me explain...
I fully realize that for some, the thought of oatmeal conjures up unsavory images of bland, lumpy breakfast fare from a by-gone era. If you are one of those, I am sorry for you and you can just skip over this post. But IF, you enjoy perfectly cooked and flavored oatmeal, you may find this of interest.
It took some tinkering with various oatmeal recipes to arrive at this which is now my favorite. (I mean it is my favorite today--ask me tomorrow and my favorite will be something else, of course. Then oatmeal will again be my favorite again next week--for one day. I am a foodie, remember?) As you can see, it really is as easy as 1-2-3. (Or 1-2-3-3?)
1 cup dry milk powder
2 ripe bananas, mashed
3 cups old-fashioned oats
3 cups hot water
Combine all ingredients and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Voila!
Of course, after dishing out each portion into a bowl I create taste variations, but our favorite is a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. It is like eating a bowl of banana bread, which if you enjoy banana bread as we do, is a great thing! :) The reason why I don't add the flavorings to the whole batch is that I usually make enough for us to eat that day and then reserve enough to make our new favorite breakfast bars for the following morning. (See, each day there's a new favorite.) I'll share that recipe too, but not today. This is enough adventure for now. :)
