These flavorful, Banana Split Overnight Oats are the perfect quick and healthy breakfast idea. Quick oats get combined with your choice of milk with vanilla Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, bananas and crushed pineapple. A bit of honey gets added for sweetness with the option of Chia seeds or your favorite chopped nuts.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost daily and have been a huge skeptic of the idea of eating it cold. I decided to finally give it a whirl and wanted to ensure it was anything but bland. The thought of having a banana split for breakfast just gives me all the right feels. I must say this combination definitely doesn’t disappoint. The sweetness from the fruit with a bit of honey has me feeling like I’m really treating myself in the morning. I’m ready for all the colors and sweetness of spring. Get out of here 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow!

You can use cow’s milk for these Banana Split Overnight Oats or your favorite substitute. I used good old fashioned skim milk for mine. A small scoop of Chia seeds will give you added calcium and fiber for a happy (and dare say regular) digestive tract. You can use this recipe as a base recipe for numerous additions such as cocoa powder, peanut butter, coconut, chopped nuts and your favorite fruits. The combinations are limitless and add so much excitement to an otherwise boring weekday breakfast menu.

I have trouble with time management (must be hereditary) and try to prep these after I make my kids’ lunches for school. It is a huge relief not to worry about what to have for breakfast in the morning and a huge time saver. No cook time and no waiting for hot oats to cool off. This gives me more time to herd cats in the morning which can be quite relentless.

Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast with Berries is what you dream of having for breakfast every morning. Brioche bread is dipped in a rich egg custard and seared to golden perfection. A generous layer of creamy cheesecake filling is layered in the middle and topped off with colorful, fresh berries.

Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

I just haven’t met a piece of French toast that I don’t like! I even enjoy a piece of wheat bread dipped in egg beaters if I’m feeling like doing it healthy. This recipe is for when you are just ready to lay it all out on the table and undo that pants button. Its SO worth every less calorie!

My 5 year old daughter was literally getting her hands on everyone else’s plate for a piece of this confection. She even tried having it for lunch and dinner in the same day. I may have bribed her a bit to eat her real food and have this for dessert. Whatever works, right?

The other danger of making Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast, is trying to not eat an entire loaf of brioche before it even hits the pan. I’m a sucker for any kind of carb and the sweetness of it is too hard to resist! Just thinking about it has me wanting to run to the pantry for just a “little” taste.

If you are entertaining for brunch, I would recommend making the French toast slices and filling ahead of time. Just heat them up a bit in the oven and piece them together right before serving. There really is no need to even serve syrup on top of these delights. The fruit makes a naturally sweet and juicy topping with a bit of agave nectar mixed in.
