Baked Oat Porn

This may not be an odd thing for you, Nutella for breakfast; however, I tend to think of it as a dessert food.  Let me just tell you about this one.  Oh. My. Gosh. I think I'll be making this one tomorrow.  I savored every bite.  See all those drippy bits going down the side of the ramekin?  I could have photoshopped those out but I like how rustic it looks.  It makes you realize how gooey and delicious your breakfast will be.

First you get the crunch of the almond and then the chewy oats and then the sweetness of the banana.  If you get a little Nutella in that bite, well, you know, it's Nutella-licious.

In fact I didn't get enough Nutella at breakfast so I had some on a Chocolate Mint Vitatop (if you like Girl Scout Thin Mints you will love these) for dessert.  I went a bit over my calorie allotment for the day, however, it was so worth it.

Do you have a certain method for eating food?  Save the best for last?  Eat the best first?  I tend to eat a bit of each item on my plate.

3. Bake in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 400F, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes.
