melty gooey chewy bananer oat goodness
December 16, 2010 The banana scramble is back! Thanks to ever-so-awesome Ashley for the original creation! I absolutely love it and it’s been far too long since I’ve made it. Today I made a few more changes and ended up with what I think is my favorite version yet!
This one was a bit firmer and easier to flip in the pan. I added less milk and changed a few other things. Along with the breakfast “cookie” I made the other morning, these are quick and easy breakfast options in the morning.
I tried to eat this as slowly as possible. It was crunchy from the toasted Ezekiel English muffin, nice + soft from the scramble, sticky from the pb+j and creamy from the banana. Lovely mix of textures and flavors.
Cinnamon Banana Scramble
- 3T rolled oats
- 1T ground flax meal
- 1T almond milk [or any milk]
- 1/2 banana
- 1t cinnamon
- splash of vanilla
- 1T unsweetened coconut
- Mash banana until wet with a fork.
- Mix in all other ingredients until holding together. [will be very soft]
- Heat + grease a pan over medium heat.
- Plop the scramble into the pan and shape into a patty, about 1/2” thick.
- Cook for about 3min until browned.
- Toast bread or english muffin.
- Flip + cook until the other side is browned.
- Top on toast and slather with peanut butter or other nut butter and whatever other toppings you want.
*This is not like a pancake in any way. It is thick and very soft. This particular though holds together much more than the others I’ve made though. This should also hold together much better in your pan when flipping. :)
It’s torturous to write this posts at night!!! Always make me hungry….and crave melty peanut butter.
I’m off to bed as this was an INsanely crazy day getting ready to leave for Cleveland tomorrow. I cooked up more than this banana scramble, but for now I need to get some sleep! Hopefully I’ll get another post up before I leave tomorrow.
But if not…just make this banana scramble for breakfast and you will completely forget about my short post.
Night!!
<3 Ashley

I love the fact that you post these at night so I have an idea for breakfast tomorrow. I made your oatmeal cookie yesterday morning and it was sooooo good!
Hehe it looks like a burger patty in a bun, especially with the pb and j like ketchup and mustard! So much better though of course
I'm thinking - delicious!
I was just thinking about the banana scramble. It has been too long! :)
You have a new header! Did I miss this before? I must admit... it scares me.
(not really. your photos are beautiful.) <3
I agree w/ Emma--it looks like a banana burger! :-) I think I'm going to try this today. I need to switch breakfast up around here and I think my 2 year old would love this. Thanks.
Looks awesome and I like your new header!
Yuuum banana scrambles! I cannot do sandwiches fo breakfast... I feel like they go WAY too fast! :)
Teehee.. it's like a breakfast burger! That's way too cute :P
That is one heckofa breakfast sandwich! Looks delicious :)
Bookmarking this! I need something new to eat for breakfast. I eat the same thing every day.
i really have to make this...the breakfast cookie is so quick, and i'm always down for fast breakfast recipes!
Wow!!!! That looks amazing and super delicious! As soon as I start consuming grains again, I am trying this!!!!
Can't wait to see you! Have a safe trip!
This looks awesome! The only way I know how to make vegan GF pancakes is by using banana, flax, and oats (of course sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, etc) but I blend that all in my Vita and then fry up. Your version is pretty similar I do but yours look a little "burger"...perfectly brown, perfect thickness. And that nut butter on top..YUM!
I made the Banana Breakfast Cookie this morning and LOVED it. THEN I see this!!! Maybe this will be my lunch today. :)
I've never heard of this. It looks awesome and also portable for work. Double score.
That look amazing. I hope that you enjoyed it and are now ready to go for the day. Have a great day.

That banana/oat "patty" almost looks like a veggie burger :) I'm sure that was an awesome breakfast!
That looks INSANELY delicious!

Everyone is saying that...I think I need to rename it "banana burger"
You definitely need to try it! And thanks ;)
Girl....i'm in love with cinnamon.
A very fun + messy change of pace! :)

Too funny!!! Yes it does...man I love sunshine burgs!
Yes...and you can mix in the pnut butter into the scramble to make it less of a drippy mess!
So glad you liked it...really need to make the cookie again. I had such a hard time deciding what to make this morning! But with the sandwich...I love that i get the oats AND the english muffin. ;)
YAY...so soon!
Oh tell me about it!!! Maybe next time I'll cut it with a knife + fork so it lasts longer! I found myself taking bites while I was still chewing..haha
I think that is it's new name!!
Totally..hahaha...love that!!!
So fabulously creative!
