please welcome to the brekky menu overnight and baked oats’ cousin: scrambled oats! my dad used to make a variation (his topping of choice was apples) of this every single morning when i was a kid so this was half nostalgia-inspired and half i-saw-it-on-pinterest. it gets its texture from scrambled eggs, but the flavor is all banana and cinnamon.

  4. Dump the mixture into the pan and mix as you would scrambled eggs until they’re giving scrambled egg vibes.
