Baking

In cold weather my mother always made Wheatena and topped it with a bit of cold milk, a swirl of maple syrup, and slices of fresh banana for breakfast. I thought it was delicious and was very happy on the inside that she did not make oatmeal. I was very prejudiced against oatmeal mainly because of the inedible stuff served at gymnastics camp. Gluey and sticky, I was not a fan. I do however love oatmeal cookies, oatmeal breads, oatmeal pancakes, and often bake with oat flour. This recipe evolved from a desire to challenge my taste buds with a food that I am not accustomed to eating while combining it with flavors that I jump all over. These baked up almost cake-like with a topping not unlike streusel. I make them in advance and then heat them up individually throughout the week. I've also been known the eat/serve them for dessert.
