    Peanut Butter Banana Power Oats

    Bowl of peanut butter banana power oats.

    I came home from vacation craving oatmeal.

    I’ve already been told by my husband that this is weird. Just let me explain myself.

    The only time I ordered oatmeal on the trip was during a breakfast-on-the-go stop at Au Bon Pain. But first of all, eating in the car takes some of the joy away from the overall oats experience.

    And secondly, I quickly realized that, while I love Au Bon Pain, their soupy oatmeal needed some major doctoring up with…. granola and almonds? Let’s just say the oatmeal topping bar was a bit sparse.

    I think it was at this point on the trip that I declared myself an oatmeal snob.

    And I’m not done yet.

    To add fuel to the “I-crave-oatmeal” fire, there was a lot of this going on during our vacation. Which was amazing.

    But it’s only amazing the first five times.

    One more thing – did I mention that we were welcomed home to Minnesota by a lovely summer temperature of 60 degrees?

    So now you can see why I came home craving a big bowl of warm, creamy, nutty power oats.

    I’m not crazy. Right?
