Ingredients
½ cup (gluten-free) porridge oats
1 cup nut milk of choice
1 tsp chia seeds or flax seeds
1 tsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 banana
1 tsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
A handful of raspberries
1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
1 tsp smooth nut butter
A sprinkle of homemade granola
Instructions
- Prepare the oatmeal: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Caramelise the bananas: While the oatmeal cooks, heat the coconut oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Slice the banana into rounds and add them to the pan. Drizzle the maple syrup over the banana slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
- Assemble the oatmeal: Once the oatmeal is ready, transfer it to a bowl. Top with the caramelized bananas, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, nut butter, and homemade granola.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while the oatmeal is warm. Enjoy the beautiful combination of textures and flavors!
Notes
Store any leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Store the caramelized bananas separately.
Reheat the oatmeal with a splash of nut milk or water, and the bananas in a pan or microwave.
Substitute maple syrup with agave syrup, date syrup, or coconut sugar.
For extra protein, add vegan protein powder or top with nuts or seeds.
Can be made without chia or flax seeds, though they provide fiber and omega-3s.
For different fruit options, sauté apples, pears, or strawberries instead of bananas.
Skip the granola for a smoother texture or substitute with chopped nuts or seeds.
Can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (without bananas).
