Brown Sugar Banana Oatmeal Recipe

We know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when we have school-age children, yet we struggle getting a quality, wholesome meal on the table in the morning more often than not. This brown sugar banana oatmeal recipe proves though that you can have easy, delicious, quick, AND filling, all in one bowl.

Skibbles LOVES oatmeal.  No lie, she asks for it two to three times a day.  I think if I let her, she would eat it for every meal. I can’t say I mind too much though because it’s so simple to make. So simple that she can even make it on her own for the most part. At only 3.5 years old, she can measure out the oatmeal and milk, add in the brown sugar and cinnamon, and mash the banana. The only thing she needs help with is on the stove or pulling the hot bowl out of the microwave depending on how we make it.

Giving she can do all of that, not only is this brown sugar banana oatmeal recipe the perfect wholesome breakfast for back-to-school season, but it’s an amazing recipe to get kids into the kitchen and get them practicing independence and choosing healthy options.

What I love about making oatmeal recipes for breakfast too is that the possibilities are really endless. Skibbles has added blueberries, even kiwi, to this recipe and I love letting her explore creativity in the kitchen, even if it may seem a little odd to me.
