“I think the latest push in the trending baked oatmeal has a lot to do with the fact that the prep and baking all happens in one pan,” Yumna Jawad, CEO and founder of Feel Good Foodie, a digital food media company, told Fox News Digital.
“If you make a small serving size, you can even eat it from the pan.”
“You can mash the banana in the pan, mix the mix and oats right in the pan and then bake it all together,” Jawad continued.
“And if you make a small serving size, you can even eat it from the pan. It feels like an easy breakfast that just requires you to dump, mix and bake.”
