I got up at 5:30 am this morning to prep dinner and make sure I had time to make Brad a Valentine’s Day breakfast.
We already celebrated V day this past weekend on our trip to Nashville (part I and II), so today will be a bit low-key. But I just can’t let the day pass without doing something a little special.
I stayed up way too late last night reading The Red Queen, so getting up before the crack of dawn was surely a labor of love.
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon NuNaturals Baking Blend (or 1 teaspoon sweetner/sugar of choice)
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 ounce, walnut pieces.
cooking spray or a bit of oil or butter(for greasing ramekins)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
In a medium sized bowl, combine oats, baking powder, salt, and sweetner, stirring well to combine. Add banana using a fork to mix and mash the banana into the rest of the mixture. Add milk and stir well to combine. Add walnuts and stir once more.
Grease the bottom and sides of two ramekins. Put half of the oatmeal mixture into each ramekin. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or microwave for 3 1/2 - 4 minutes on high.
Top with Greek yogurt.
Share with the person you love.
What are your Valentine’s Day plans?
I’m sure Brad was touched my your early rising to make him a yummy breakfast!
Yep, he loves it when I made him breakfast!
Wow, You’re way too nice to him! That’d be wonderful getting breakfast in bed! We ordered pizza and watched a movie in our pjs. Love keeping it simple
Haha. He’s pretty nice to me too. We have a pretty even give and take going. Ordering pizza is one of my favorite things to do with my husband. I love celebrating simply.
you were so sweet to get up and make your sweetie a special valentine’s day breakfast. sounds like he repaid the favor by going to see the vow with you!
hope you had a good valentine’s day.
Yes, that probably wasn’t his first choice in a movie.
I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day too, Jen!
It was great. Thanks again for breakfast. You are sweet.
No, you are.
Love the way the oats get all toasty and crisp on top of baked oatmeal!
Me too! This doesn’t quite happen when you microwave it.
