The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4 star rating.
Reviewed: Jun. 9, 2008
I was looking for something different to serve my children for breakfast. We had everything the recipe required, so we tried it. I could barely keep a straight face when I got all of these great comments from each one of them. You can spice it up to you own acquired taste. But it was good.

Only 4 stars because I know it would have been too sweet with all that sugar. I left it out and used a few drops of maple syrup instead. I stirred in an egg before adding the banana and chocolate chips. It was sooo creamy and good, sort of like having chocolate rice pudding for breakfast.

Way too sweet. I would leave out the brown sugar, and just sprinkle a few chips on top instead of using 1/4 cup.

This was really tasty and a nice change from the oatmeal we normally eat. I omitted the brown sugar as my banana was pretty ripe, and it was perfect. Just a touch sweet. Nice way to sneak fruit into my kids.

YUM! I cooked the oatmeal with soy milk instead of water in the microwave and cut out the sugar. W/o the sugar and less chocalate chips its a very tasty healthy new breakfast. Thanks for a great idea!

I actually cheated a bit and just went with the general idea of this recipe rather than the recipe itself. I made one packet of plain oatmeal, added the mashed banana and maybe 1.5 teaspoons of brown sugar, then sprinkled with chocolate chips. I must say, it was quite tasty for breakfast or for a snack. I've already made this several times. Thanks!

This was way to sweet! I even took suggestions, and put less b. sugar in it. I will make it again, but probably skip the chocolate chips. We thought the mashed banana was good in it though!

This was pretty good. I was mindful of the other reviews saying it was overly sweet, so we added the sugar a little at a time until it was sweet enough - probably only a couple of spoonfuls. This was a nice change from the usual porridge, but not something we want too regularly. Thanks, Glitzystar!

Quite good oatmeal, definitely a change from the blah regular stuff. I also did a half milk/half water mixture, left out chocolate chips and actually didn't add any sugar, and it still tasted fine(my banana was quite ripe so I think the natural sweetness was good enough!). I did feel a bit sick afterwards, but I think that's just from the density of the oatmeal and the rate at which I gobbled it up!

I love the idea of adding in mashed banana in a porridge. Definitely a different way to serve plain old oatmeal. I love the fact that oatmeal makes a nutritious breakfast and I was looking for a new way to prepare it, rather than eating pre-favored, packaged instant oatmeal which is not that healthy. Finally, I found one. However, I made mine low-fat. I opt out the chocolate chips and used 1 tsp brown sugar for one serving (I scaled down to one serving) only. It is sweet enough for me, as banana has its natural sweetness added to it already. And I used half water, half fat-free milk. It turned out fabulous! All you health conscious people out there, if you want a low-fat, low-cal, delicious oatmeal porridge without compromising the good taste, do it this way!!! I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for the recipe idea.

This was ok but my kids didn't like it. I think prefavored instant oatmeal is better.

I tried this recipe after reading the other reviews. I only added about a tablespoon of chocolate chips, if that, but even with that little I found it much too sweet. Drop the chocolate chips, add a little milk and it should be very yummy.

I substituted raisins for the chocolate chips and added a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. It was awesome! Next time I will definitely have to try it with the chocolate.

I really liked this - my three boys however were not crazy about it. It was pretty sweet - so next time I will decrease the sugar a bit and probably not use as many chocolate chips. The banana is a great touch. Mmmmmmmmm Good.

Both my boys (3 and 1) clean their bowls whenever I serve this. And my 3 year old is VERY picky. I cut down the sugar to about 1/4 cup or less. I also plan to use peanut butter, maybe omit the banana. but each time I think to do it, I don't want to mess with a good thing!
