I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this blog and what it represents to me.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s so much more than just sharing recipes; this blog is a place for inspiration and stories. At least that’s what I’ve always tried to make it; however, lately I feel like I’m getting further from that.

It just feels… redundant. I have to put my passion back into it.

So, we’re getting back to it! Back to when I shared my inspiration, fitness posts, healthy living tips, dreams, and stories! More personalized. I hope you don’t mind, but it’s not just food that makes me happy anymore; it’s the story behind the food.

First I’d like to tell you about the first time I fell in love with pumpkin. I was 9 years old and my mom and I baked a pie from scratch. The comfort pumpkin pie brings me is unparalleled.

I’m also a huge fan of oatmeal which I really didn’t start eating until I was in college. Now I eat oatmeal pancakes, bowls of oatmeal, and oatmeal in muffins! I love how healthy it is and am constantly trying to find new ways to add it to my recipes.

Now I know some of you had been requesting an oatmeal breakfast recipe and so I put two of my favorite things together for a very delicious fall breakfast. Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal!

Oh and I must not forget to tell you about those bananas on top. I tossed sliced bananas in a bit of brown sugar and vanilla bean. You guyssssss. It’s amazing!

The bananas caramelize when bake and put under the broiler for a few minutes at the end of baking. They’re slightly crispy and golden, and just add a little bit of sweetness to the oatmeal.

This recipe is easy to throw together, too! Just whisk up wet and dry ingredients, combine together, then bake for a little over 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for breakfast throughout the week, or you can even freeze and reheat for later! I love cutting mine into squares and enjoying them as a pre-workout morning snack! It’s also wonderful drizzled with a little extra maple syrup.

Hope you love it as much as I do! xoxo
