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 oatmeal: In a bowl, combine the gluten free porridge oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften. You can enjoy this oatmeal cold or warm it up before serving.
- Warm the oatmeal (optional): If you prefer your oatmeal warm, gently heat it for a few minutes in a microwave or on the stovetop in a saucepan. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired porridge thickness.
- Caramelise the bananas: Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, carefully place banana slices in the pan, ensuring they do not touch each other. Fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown, then gently flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
- Add maple syrup to bananas: Pour 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the pan with the bananas. Allow it to bubble and reduce for a couple of minutes, thickening into a caramel sauce coating the bananas.
- Assemble the dish: Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with the caramelised bananas. Garnish with fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, a dollop of smooth nut butter, and a sprinkle of homemade granola to add texture and flavor.
