This is hilarious! I was going to come on here thinking I was so smart and apparently I am behind the times! That is what I get for thinking I was so smart, I guess.

I looked at our leftover oatmeal this morning and thought it was the consistency of the bananas that I just made banana bread with. So I substituted the oatmeal for the bananas in my recipe and everyone loved it. I'll post it here anyway in case anyone wants it. We made ours into muffins.
1 1/4 cups sugar (could probably use honey, but I only had raw and wasn't going to "waste it" baking with it)
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
1 1/2 - 2 cups oatmeal (ours had dried cranberries in it, so I added a few more, too)
1/2 cup buttermilk (I used Kefir and upped it to 3/4 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour (used white whole wheat from Trader Joes)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts, if desired (I don't desire!!

)
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease muffin cups.
Mix sugar and butter in large bowl. Stir in eggs until well blended. Add oatmeal, buttermilk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in the nuts. Pour into muffin tins. Bake about 15 min.
If you want to make it into a loaf style bread, heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for approx 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min. Depends on the size of your loaf pans.
I don't pre-sweeten my oatmeal when I do it in the crockpot. We add honey when we dish it up. So if your oatmeal is pre-sweetened, you might want to alter the recipe a little to account for that.
Everyone loved it!
