Banana Oatmeal Bites
I know breakfast is not for everyone, but at least for me, it is the most important meal of the day. If I don’t have a delicious and satisfying breakfast, I can’t function. And these Banana Oatmeal Bites are quick, easy, and make for the perfect breakfast! They are great for meal prep if you're on the go, or for a casual morning where you just want to relax. These are a take on traditional muffins but they are a little bit different texturally and ingredients-wise. Instead of flour, here I used oats and bananas as the binders, so they also are great if you're looking for gluten-free options. What’s also very appealing about this recipe is how versatile you can be with the toppings. If you want chocolate chips, top it with some chocolate chips. If you want some blueberries, go for it — it will taste even better. All in all, these are a great thing to have prepped in your pantry, ready to start your day right!
