If there is one food combination that anyone can enjoy, it is bananas and chocolate! I could eat chocolate covered bananas every day.

If you try hard enough, you can even justify it because bananas are fruits! Every Sunday, I bake a few batches of strawberry muffins to make breakfast easy.

Baked Oatmeal Cups – the recipe source

This baked oatmeal recipe is from a book called Whole Food Energy by Elise Museles. I bought this a while back because the recipes promised to give you more energy.

Having two young kids and a full time job, I’ll take all the energy I can get! I drink green smoothies every morning because they get me going, but I needed more to get me through the day.

I make these baked oatmeal cups for my husband and myself. The kids pick out the chocolate chips, but they don’t like the oatmeal part. That’s okay, more for us!

In fact, I would not consider this book kid friendly. The reviews had many people talking about how their kids love the recipes, but honestly, unless your kid is really into healthy foods, these recipes might be a little mature for their taste buds.

    Love these! The banana on top and the chocolate chips make these a really tasty after-run snack. I put them in the freezer for next week, and I’m hoping they taste just as great even after freezing them. If so, I’ll be making an entire batch of these. Could definitely become a staple in my workout routine.
