Raise your hand if you think a mashup of the two best breakfasts ever in one crockpot is just a good way to start off the week.

I’m about ready to do a swan dive into this belle of a breakfast bowl to prove it.

How we’re rolling today: Yet even more easy-peasy breakfasts for all your Monday’s pleasures, desires, and NEEDS.

That means things like these blueberry cheesecake oatmeal muffins, these caramelized banana oatmeal bowls, and our crockpot oatmeal star today are absolute necessities!

I fall into the need category. It’s Monday.

And banana bread which is both my best and worst enemy. Is there even anything remaining in the world that we haven’t stuffed banana bread into?

Sidenote: It’s slightly weird and ridiculous to me that today is the last day of February.

It’s also super-exciting because that means roughly only ONE MONTH until spring decides to make it’s way to Wisconsin.

Seriously. It will be so nice to be able to walk outside without feeling like my face is going to freeze off. Ugh, the anticipation!!

Now getting back to your to-do list for this lovely Monday morning…

  1. Eat banana bread steel-cut oatmeal.
  2. Eat more.
  3. Go back for thirds, why the heck not?

You’ll notice that the crucial step, MAKE said banana bread steel-cut oatmeal isn’t included on this itinerary anywhere.

That’s because your crockpot literally does that entire job for you.

All YOU have to do, is throw your oats, milk, agave, mashed banana, vanilla, and ground cinnamon in the crockpot the night before, turn ‘er on low, and the next morning you shall have a bowl of creamy, piping-hot oatmeal anxiously waiting for you.

Anxiously waiting for you to top it with extra milk and sliced bananas, adorbs mini chocolate chips, toasty pecans, dried cranberries, or whatever else floats your little oatmeal boat. ♥

Make this NOW for a killer midnight snack or make it tonight before you go to bed to set up your Tuesday for breakfast success. BAM!

Pretty breakfast bowls on the longest day of the week for ALL THE WINS! I swear it helps, guys.

    Mashups are definitely the best, especially when a crockpot is involved! This oatmeal looks so good, Sarah! I love that you made this in the crockpot. What a delicious way to wake up in the morning! And banana bread anything is my favorite. Love!!

    I love slow cooker steel cut oats, and this banana bread version looks off the charts delicious! I love all the toppings you loaded onto it to — breakfast doesn’t get much better!

    Mmm I’ve never made slow cooker oatmeal before, but the idea of waking up to this makes me NEED to try it! Especially flavored with banana bread. I have big heart eyes for this!

    I made this and it seemed very runny. Should it be 2 cups of oatmeal? It did not look as you have pictured it.

    Just tried to make this and it and though I woke up to delicious smells, it looks like brown soupy glop. So disappointed, it looked so great in your photos.
