Banana Bread Oatmeal

jellie's Note:

I love eating oatmeal in the morning - it's cheap, filling, and tasty. However, I got a little bit sick of the usual raisins and apples variety. I came up with this oatmeal after reading about "overnight Oatmeal" in the "Student's Vegetarian Cookbook", and it tastes just like banana bread.

This was really satisfying, and tasty! I was looking for something more substantial than cold cereal, and this was it! I made it with the vanilla soy milk, and it had a great flavor. I did the microwave version today - I'm going to try the overnight version for tomorrow morning.

i tried it cold, i think i'd like it better warm, but, i'll definitely make it again

It wasn't great, but definitely not terrible either. I felt it kind of lost the banana flavor by mashing it up and stirring it in, but I guess that's my fault for preparing it that way. I definitely want to try it cold with sliced bananas sometime.
