Ingredients
Scale
Basic Oatmeal
- ½ cup (gluten free) porridge oats
- 1 cup nut milk of choice
- 1 tsp chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Caramelised Bananas
- 1 banana
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Oatmeal Toppings
- A handful of raspberries
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 1 tsp smooth nut butter
- A sprinkle of homemade granola
Instructions
- Prepare the overnight oatmeal: In a bowl, combine the porridge oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Mix everything well until fully combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften. This can be served cold or warmed as per your preference.
- Warm or serve oatmeal cold: If you prefer your oatmeal hot, transfer the oats to a saucepan and gently heat on the stove until warmed through, adjusting the amount of nut milk as desired to achieve your preferred consistency. Alternatively, warm it in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
- Caramelise the bananas: Heat 1 tsp of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, place sliced bananas in the pan with space between each piece so they don’t touch. Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip each piece over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Add maple syrup to bananas: Pour 2 tbsp maple syrup over the frying bananas and allow it to bubble and thicken for about 2 minutes, coating the bananas and forming a rich caramel glaze.
- Assemble the oatmeal bowl: Spoon the warmed or cold oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with the caramelised bananas, a handful of fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, a teaspoon of your favorite smooth nut butter, and a sprinkle of homemade granola for added texture and flavor.
