Make whipped banana oats as usual and near the end of cooking add cubes of delicious whole wheat bread and a splash more milk. Stir until liquid is absorbed.

Have you heard of Ebates.com? It’s a site that pays you CASH BACK just for making your usual shopping purchases online. It works because they get paid by the company for referring you and share some of it. Tina introduced me a while ago, and I have to say I’ve been shopping online a little more than usual – they have really good coupon deals too! I was all out of Bare Minerals and paid a visit to Sephora.com (4% cash back) and also bought another of my new favorite sports bra from Fresh Pair (Moving Comfort Fiona). Two necessities – with a bonus! And I think you even get $5 just for signing up. I’m excited to see if this really adds up over time!

We’ve got a beautiful sunny day here before a string of rain in the forecast, so Matt and I are going for a nice run later on. First – computer work!

    Love this idea!!! Especially great for using up extra bread. I’ve heard of Ebates before but have never given it a whirl. Thanks for the review – who doesn’t love a little extra cash? 🙂

    Wow, talk about party in a bowl! Amazing idea.

    I’m sure you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering if you ever get a “sugar crash” from your oat/banana/granola breakfasts? I always admire your breakfasts, but am hesitant to try them because I’m usually intimidated by big meals.

    On a another note, I am a first year Dietetics students and it is SO inspiring to read your blog. It is exciting to see how you are using your RD credentials in such creative and unique ways. (can I do my intern with you guys @ Great Harvest? haha) I can’t wait till Organic Chem. is over and I can start dealing with real food! 🙂

      I’ve never experienced any kind of sugar crash with oatmeal – but I have when I eat too many sweets! I think because my breakfasts include good amounts of fiber, protein and fat that the glycemic is pretty slow and steady.

      Good luck with chem!

    I’ve been meaning to try ebates. Of course, it’s always right after I place an order at Sephora that I remember about it!

    That breakfast is such a good idea! I don’t usually buy the fruity bread..but I may buy some try try this out!

  20. Chris says

    I don’t use ebates but I do use mrrebates. There are several similar companies out there. I have made probably $50 to $70 so far, since my son has ordered a few pair of expensive shoes on the internet; that helps it add up. Some other examples – you can also buy plane tickets through Priceline and buy things on ebay and get your account credited. Then they send you a check! Cool!

    Have fun on your run! We are expecting the same kind of weather here 🙂

    Right now I use Clinique, but I’m almost out and thinking of switching to Bare Minerals. My friend uses it and LOVES it. Would it be wise to go into the store to buy it the first time, so that they can figure out my skin tone? Or does it work that way?

    Kath, you and Matt are such a wonderful face for Great Harvest. I was having dinner with my sister last night and she is a huge GH fan. I was telling her about your blog and about the process you guys have gone through to open the store. Then I was saying how I read on your GHCville website that you mill the flour fresh every morning and my sister had this massive “no wonder it tastes so good!” moment.

    Kath,
    So addicted to GH bread now in Newtonville, MA. I live in fear of it closing, so I’m on a mission to patron it bi-weekly. I asked on Sunday if they’d heard of the blogger in VA giving GH such good press. Do you think the bread oatmeal would work with cinnamon chip?

    Reply

  27. Lauren @ Healthy Food For Living says

    Yes! I’ve done this with both hot oats and overnight oats, and the added chew from the bread is fantastic. I think I actually love it even more when I stir muffin or quick bread crumbles into yogurt and let it sit overnight. Doughy deliciousness!

    Reply

  32. Laurie says

    Sounds delicious! I hit our Great Harvest on Sunday (there was a coupon in the paper for a free loaf of Cinnamon Swirl with the purchase of another loaf!). The Irish Soda bread was delicious…I cut up the crown shape it was in and froze most of eat. I can’t keep it out or I eat too much! I may have to pull a slice out of the freezer and try this!

    Never tried ebates but I am now hooked on groupons.com and livingsocial.com…..so much easier to justify things when they are half off!!!

    I heard about Ebates from Tina too and I’ve signed up, but haven’t had a chance to really look into how it works yet.

    Bread pudding oatmeal sounds brilliant. Perfect for days when I know I may or may not get to eat lunch and I need a super-filling breakfast.

  40. Melanie Schneider says

    This recipe looks so delicious and is making me hungry so soon after I have eaten breakfast. I have never been a huge fan of oatmeal because I prefer crunchier textures to smoother, mushier textures. However, I have come across some great variations on oatmeal recipes lately that solve this problem. I love the idea of bread cubes and granola and nuts to add both texture and substance to oatmeal. I recently saw a banana bread oatmeal recipe which also looked enticing. My favorite thing to do is add peanut butter and cinnamon to oatmeal – the combination is amazing! Now I will add some of these crunchier things to make the perfect cruncy and filling oatmeal.

    Ebates is legitimate! It works best if you’re making a major purchase because then your “ebate” is larger, but I used it for my online Christmas shopping and all the small purchases added up. They also do a “daily double” each day, where they double the amount of the ebate for a particular store that day. They doubled Crate and Barrel this past weekend (from 3 to 6 percent) . And it happened to be the day we planning to buy a sofa there! Instead, I ordered it online (I’d only gone in the store and visited this sofa about ten times in the past few weeks!) The ebate will be about 80 dollars. Not bad, considering we were going to buy it that day anyway!

    Ebates is new to me – is it in Canada, too, i wonder?
    yes – get your work done first, and the reward will be a fun run!
    i work at a running store and moving comfort is a fabulous line for quality running bras – the fiona is one of the more popular models, i’ve noticed.

            I like the Phoebe. Something about the Fiona just kills my back on long runs. I think it hits me in the wrong spot. Also annoying is the ribbed torso band. It eats at the skin under my solar plexus. I used to love those bras, but I can’t do more than 4 miles in them now.

    You MUST try this again with your bread TOASTED! My Mom always served us buttered toast with our oatmeal, and we usually broke up the whole slice, or just the crusts, and mixed them into our oatmeal. Experiment with it a bit – you can cut out fat somewhere else to include the butter on the toast, and perhaps up your liquids a bit to account for what the toast will absorb.

    I serve oatmeal almost every day to my toddlers at home, and we put frozen wild blueberries in at the end to help cool down the oats. The blueberries are like tiny little ice cubes and they add sweetness and a fun color. It helps get the oats on the table and into their hungry mouths faster!

    Kath – Your oatmeal pictures make me hungry! They are always so yummy looking:)

    Also, another great site to use (for when you start having children) is called upromise.com. Basically you sign up and get money back through purchase you make. For example,when you go to the grocery store you might get 10 cents back for purchasing sugar. Well, over time that adds up and all of the money goes tax free to your childs 529 account for college. It’s pretty cool.

        You should look into credit card points, we got a free tent (a great one too) and an IPod shuffle as well as about $600 off flights over the course of two years. Which is odd because we really don’t spend that much…oh geez perhaps it is time to start looking at that website you suggested to save $$$…
        Seriously though if you have a business credit card look into it. We are with HSBC.

        You should definitely look into getting a rewards card for business purchases.
