1(1.75-ounce) packet Bakery on Main Strawberry Shortcake Instant Oatmeal
1/4cupmashed banana (riper than you'd want to eat or frozen and thawed is fine)
1egg
1teaspoonhoney (may substitute maple syrup)
1tablespoonslivered or sliced almonds
1tablespoonshredded coconut (I use unsweetened; sweetened is fine, too)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients until fully incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a greased 1- or 2-cup capacity ramekin or a mini loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes for a 2-cup capacity dish or 18 minutes for a 1-cup dish or until just set in the center.
For a speedy option, you may microwave the oatmeal on full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. If microwaving, check a bit early the first time and extend cooking time if needed. Given different microwave options, cooking times will vary. To maintain moisture and great texture when microwaving the oatmeal, the critical component is to not overcook.
