    NOtes on this recipe

    • You can use any milk of your choosing to prepare oatmeal. I love soy milk as it is high in protein.
    • Not sure what to do with the remaining ½ a banana? Freeze it to use in this tasty matcha smoothie bowl!
    • When caramelising the bananas, watch them carefully as they may burn.

    FAQ

    Which oats are best for making oatmeal?

    You can use porridge oats, rolled oats or steel cut oats in this recipe - whichever you prefer. If using steel cut, be sure to increase the cooking time as needed.

    Can I use white sugar if I don't have brown?

    Yes! White sugar also works well for caramelising the bananas.

    Are caramelised bananas healthy?

    Bananas are a good source of fibre and potassium. The extra sugar and fat added during the caramelisation process does mask some health benefits, but the result is a tasty treat!
