Ingredients
For the Oatmeal:
- 40 grams Oats
- 150 millilitres Almond Milk
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar optional
- sprinkle Cinnamon optional
- pinch Salt
For the Caramelised Bananas:
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Banana
Instructions
- Add the oats, 120 ml of the almond milk, sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a pot and stir well. Cook on low heat for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the remaining 30 ml of almond milk halfway through cooking.
- Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir well to combine.
- Slice a banana in half lengthwise. Spread out the caramel over the surface of the pan, add the sliced banana and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. If you wish, you can flip the banana to caramelise both sides.
- Once the oatmeal is creamy and bubbling, remove from the heat and decant into your favourite bowl. Top with the caramelised bananas. I also added chopped hazelnuts and homemade chia jam (see notes)
Notes
- Using homemade Almond Milk makes this recipe extra creamy. Find a very easy recipe here.
- I like to top my oatmeal with this Berry Chia Jam for added antioxidants.
