Today, I am headed to Galway to test drive a car. Knowing that the bus would leave at 9:30 AM from town, I woke up at 7:00 AM to pack, eat breakfast, and get a little bit of work completed before I hurried my way into town to wait for the bus outside of Spar (about 1.5 kilometers from my apartment).

I was feeling creative this morning and tired of eating fruit and a quest bar or plain oatmeal for breakfast, so I decided to bake something new! It ended up tasting fantastic, was super filling, and fairly healthy—what a combo!

All you need for this recipe is: one egg, ¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk, a banana, ½ cup oats, 1 Tablespoon no-sugar added peanut butter, a dash of salt, some slivered almonds, a teaspoon of olive oil.

First, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and beat the egg, a dash of salt, and almond milk until blended in a small bowl.

Add oats and mix until well dispersed.

Choose a small baking dish and put a teaspoon of olive oil in the base so that nothing gets stuck. Turn the bowl side to side to cover the inside of the dish.

Now, put half the batter in the bottom of the pan.

Top the first layer of batter with a layer of bananas and ½ a Tablespoon of your peanut butter.

Add the rest of the batter to the dish and top it off with another layer of sliced bananas, another ½ Tablespoon of peanut butter, and some slivered almonds.

Put it in the oven to bake for 25 minutes (or until the top is slightly browned). 

Enjoy! I ate it with a cup of black coffee as I worked and appreciated the morning fog off the bay. What a life.
