This looks delicious! I’m always looking for new ways to make my oatmeal that I eat every day so I’ll have to give this a try. If it legitimately tastes like banana bread, I will love you.
This was so good. Added yogurt like you suggested. My husband is a raisin fanatic so guess what I added….. raisins! A few more sugars, but not too much and still so healthy. This keeps us going all morning without having that starved feeling by 11:00.
Blueberry next and then I think I’ll try frozen peaches.
Thank you so much for this source for healthy and delicious foods. Mostly DESSERTS. YUM!

YAYAYAY! Good idea with the raisins too. Natural sugars are totally fine by me, so I’ll definitely give that a try. Maybe I’ll add some chopped walnuts or pecans too 😀
I wonder how a Peaches ‘n Cream flavor would turn out! Yummmm.

Hi! I posted another comment on the Red Velvet Protein Bars and sent you an email. I didn’t know if you had gotten either, so I wanted to comment on a recent post and let you know.
This looks yummy too, btw!
Hi Jess. This sounds soooooo good. I am not a fan of stevia, can I use erythritol instead?
Thank you!
You can use whatever sweetener you like 🙂
Holy moly, this looks BOMB! What brand of quick oats did you use for this recipe?
I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free quick oats 🙂
Any suggestions for milk other then almond, i have a almond allergy. Thank you
Literally any other milk you like — dairy, soy, coconut, hemp, oat, cashew, etc. 🙂

Can you heat them up?
Absolutely! You might need to add more liquid, but it should work just fine 🙂

I want to use regular whole oats. Is this possible and what changes would I need to make? Let it soak longer maybe?
You’re absolutely right! If you want to use whole oats, just let it soak for longer! Only a few more hours should be fine 🙂
I need food for diabetic breakfast that is less pricey for me as most of my money goes for diabetic supplies like readily available in pantry it does sound very good
