As you are aware (if you read this blog at all),
I am a nurse who works looooonnnnnnng shifts.
I am at the hospital from 0700-1945ish every day.
That's a long day.
In the morning, I wake up and try to eat something for
breakfast because one thing floor nurses DON"T do is take a
lunch at 1200 everyday like most normal people.
We take lunch when we have a spare 30 minutes... which sometimes
doesn't happen until 3pm. That's a long time to wait to eat
when you are dealing with sick people and running your
butt off all morning.
My favorite breakfast is these oatmeal muffins I make out
of bananas, oatmeal, and other ingredients.
They are really filling, and perfect to pop in a baggie to stash
somewhere in the unit kitchen when I need a snack.
I take three overripe bananas and mash them with a potato masher
until they are pulverized in a large bowl.
I add a cup of vanilla almond or soy milk, 2 eggs,
a tablespoon of baking powder, 3 cups of rolled oats,
1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
Preheat the oven to 375, mix all ingredients together,
and line a cupcake tin with liners.
I spoon enough of the mix to the top of the liners, and then bake for 25 minutes.
Once they are browned on the tops and firm to the touch, they are done.
It makes from 13-15 muffins.
Once they cool down they are easy to remove from the cupcake liners :)
These are one of the best recipes I have found when it comes to needing
a filling breakfast... they also can be stuffed in your mouth while on the way to work :)
