Banana Walnut Oatmeal

This Banana Walnut Oatmeal is perfect to add to your rotation this week if you’re looking for a new oatmeal recipe that’s delicious, hearty, and filling.

    Tried this for breakfast today. I love it! I didn’t have raisins, so substituted craisins. Such an easy, delicious, filling way to start the day. Thank you for posting this!
