As I’m typing this post, I’m listening to Spotify.

Why, oh why, did it take me so long to try Spotify? I loooove it!

I was using Pandora before, but I’m officially hooked on Spotify. It keeps me company when I’m recipe testing in the kitchen or working on other blog tasks at my computer.

And I’m a 90s girl all the way. It’s my first play list of choice, followed by the 00s. And speaking of 90s, Mambo No. 5 just came on. I’m totally showing my age here, but this song was popular when I was in high school…oh, the memories! You just can’t help but dance when that song comes on, as cheesy as it is!

Anyways, I’ll get off my soapbox now and get right to the recipe. Because that’s what you’re really here for, right?

    Spotify is the greatest! We love listening to it, particularly on the weekend while we are just chilling in the kitchen. So much selection, isn't there? I searched or 90's songs a few weeks ago and just let it play. So many good songs (and I may have danced around a bit, lol). I am loving this little meal for one and so so quick to whip up - totally doable for me for busy weekdays. Pinned, of course. Hope you had a lovely long weekend :)

    I've never listened to Spotify and need to give that a try! I love that you made baked oatmeal into a quick and easy mug recipe with no oven required! Just genius, and the strawberry banana combo is one of my favorites. I will definitely be trying this!

    Hahaha Mambo #5 brings back such memories. So funny! For some reason, I stopped listening to Spotify when iTunes came out with their offering; listening to the new Shakira now! Strawberry banana is pretty much my favorite flavor combo and this oatmeal is the prettiest ever!

    Spotify is totally the best!! (I say as I'm actually listening to it right NOW!!) I seriously do not know what I'd do if I didn't have music keeping me company during all of the blog craziness too! Haha. Meanwhile, you know I just love all of your super convenient and delicious meal ideas. I love that this is just the perfect size for one serving. Breakfast love, indeed! Wishing you an awesome week ahead, Gayle! :)

    Sounds perfect (and a great way to use up some ripe bananas). Plus, I just bought a huge carton of strawberries at Costco today, so this NEEDS to happen! And you're not alone -- I haven't jumped on the Spotify train yet either! I need to check it out. :)

    Yess I love Pandora and Spotify! It is a rare moment that one of them is not playing music in my house. It's too quiet otherwise! This baked oatmeal looks delicious, Gayle. And I love that it's single serving!

    Hi Gayle! :) :) I've flagged this recipe as soon as I read it and, as I went to my parents' house yesterday, couldn't help trying it as an after-dinner treat for my father. :) He is such a sweet tooth and this sounded like the perfect compromise between a sweet and a healthy snack. Needless to say that it was a huge success! ;-) I've also tried it and found it delicious and comforting. Many, many thanks!! :)

      Hi Vera! I'm so glad you and your father liked this! It's one of my favorite, easy breakfasts. Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know how it turned out!
