protein powder

Greek yogurt adds protein while being lower in calories than protein powder.

mixed berries

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: frozen fruit

Frozen fruit is often cheaper and has a longer shelf life.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds can be a less expensive source of crunch and nutrition.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar can provide sweetness at a lower cost.

Add 1 cup of certified gluten-free oats to a food processor or blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of white granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the food processor.

Pour in 1/2 cup of whole milk and add 2 large eggs.

Add 1 ripe banana and about 1 tablespoon of honey, eyeballing the amount.

Blend the mixture for 15 to 20 seconds until incorporated.

Prepare two mini loaf pans (4x2.5 inches) by spraying with cooking spray or greasing with shortening or butter and flouring them.

Pour about half of the blended mixture into each loaf pan evenly.

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top of the mixture in each pan (optional).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius).

Bake the loaf pans in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.

If desired, bake for up to 35 minutes for a firmer texture.

Let the baked oatmeal cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the pans.

Optionally, place on a wire rack to cool further, or serve warm.
