Banana Split Breakfast Oats

So, you guys. I did a thing.

I've been feeling super under the weather. Me and the baby both have colds and I've been trying to come up with exciting ways to get my fruits and veggies in (and ok, I may have snuck a little chocolate into this one). I've also been looking for fun things to do in the house since we aren't going out in the cold right now so recipe planning was on the agenda in between naps today! 
​

I had won an amazing case of Zing Bars from them, and they were already my FAVORITE bar, so WIN for me! And I wanted to incorporate them in a bowl for a while. We also had bananas that needed to be used today and I always have an over abundance of gluten free oats in the house, so I started to brainstorm and my Banana Split Breakfast Oats were born. 

I used traditional Banana Split ingredients and put a healthy spin on it. No added sugar is used in the oats. The coconut cream is sugar free and aside from a little organic sugar in Zing Bars chocolate coating, the bars are sweetened with agave nectar.

Ingredients:

• 1 C. Cooked Gluten Free Oats
• ​1 Chocolate Coconut Zing Bar
• 1/4 C. Frozen or Fresh Strawberries
• 1 Medium Banana
• 1/4 C. Coconut Cream 

​Directions: 

• Peel and cut banana into coins and slice the Zing bar into equal pieces.
• Wash and cut fresh strawberries or heat frozen strawberries (I do this to obtain a nice juice)
• Take a warm bowl of plain gluten-free oats and assemble toppings as desired
• Pour coconut cream over top
• Eat, savor and enjoy!
