Banana Scramble

Best quick, easy, and delicious breakfast ever! When I first saw recipes for something called "banana scramble", I was quite skeptical. Who puts bananas in their scrambled eggs?? Fortunately, I continued on to read the recipe more thoroughly, and I discovered that the bananas are combined not with eggs, but with a fantastic combination of oats and peanut butter. The result? A warm, gooey cookie-like creation that is also super nutrition-packed. I found the idea on Food Doodles and Edible Perspective, which, by the way, are cool blogs to check out.
 

• 1/2 banana, mashed
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1/2-1 tsp spices(cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc)
• 1 tbsp ground flax (or other dry ingredients such as oat bran, ground nuts, wheat germ, etc)
• 3 tbsp rolled oats
• optional--1 tbsp nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and mush them all together.  It will form a slightly sloppy mess-- wet, but not runny.  Form into a patty shape, and place in a skillet (I coated with mine cooking spray, just in case), over medium heat.  Cook for a few minutes on each side. I considered mine "done" when it was browned slightly on the outside, but still gooey on the inside. It was delicious with fresh fruit, but you can also top it with yogurt, jelly, peanut butter, syrup, etc!!
