Notes

How-to-Use:
Athletes: This recipe was designed to be the perfect post workout breakfast. The perfect amount of protein and complex carbohydrates to refuel and rebuild muscles to get the maximum gains from your sweat session.
Healthy Eating: Get ready for a super balanced breakfast ready to fuel your morning and keep you full for hours.
Kids: My son calls this peanut butter cake and I am positively okay with this. Let them drizzle some extra peanut butter on top and score extra points with a few chocolate chips. Have a busy, older kid? Cut a hunk, slap in on a napkin, and shove in their hand as they run out the door. Done and Done.
Other Thoughts:
  • This would also taste delightful with dried tart cherries added!
  • The toppings are optional. But let me tell you, it takes this from good to absolutely mind blowing. Next time, I will definitely bake it with chocolate chips IN it.
  • If you like sweet oatmeal, you may want to increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup. Or, add a little on top before eating.
  • Use gluten free oats, if needed.
