  1. Nice, filling treat for breakfast. Next time I will just cut the bananas thinly so as to better preserve the true banana flavor. I added a 1/2 T of half & half at the end to thin it out a bit. UPDATE: I made this again today and cut the banana into small pieces instead of mashing it and I really loved it that way. I used mini chocolate chips which melted nicely. Thanks for sharing. Great breakfast this morning!
     
  2. The oatmeal came out pretty good. I had to microwave the oats about a minute longer than directed to get it to the consistency I liked, but other than that they came out nicely. Next time I plan on trying fewer chips with a little sugar, and maybe using milk instead of water.
     
  3. This is a great breakfast oatmeal! I cut my banana into tiny pieces instead of mashing, otherwise made as directed. Surprisingly, this was not overly sweet - it was just right. I served mine with a little milk and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  4. I eat a lot of breakfast. So, I doubled the recipe. Instead of the chocolate chips, I used 1 tbsp of cocoa powder and 2 tbsp of sugar. This was a very very good variation on oatmeal. Next time I make it, I'll scale back to 1 tbsp of sugar due to the banana.
     
  5. A real nice breakfast this morning. I replaced the water with milk, and had it with banana yogurt. A nice quick making breakfast.

  4. We made this for breakfast this morning. It was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used milk instead of water (personal preference). We also had to add a bit more milk at the end to thin it out a bit.
     
  5. What a great change of the daily pace. Total yumm factor here. I used cocoa powder in place of the chips only to trim the sugar. If this won't get the kids to eat their oatmeal trade them in because they are defective! *wink*. Thanks Mandy :D
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa. Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks. As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
