Creamy, Fruit-Sweetened Oatmeal
My two secret weapons for oatmeal that actually tastes good: (1) using creamy plant-based milk instead of water and (2) adding in bananas or dates along with oats to sweeten them up.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats (45-50g)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (240 mL) (I like oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk)
- A large pinch each of ground cinnamon & ginger
- A tiny pinch of sea salt
- 1 ripe banana, thinly sliced
Toppings
- jam or homemade chia jam nuts and seeds, dark chocolate
- raw or roasted nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
- dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Add the plant milk to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add the oats, spices, salt, and banana.
- Cook, storing occasionally for 5-7 minutes or until oats are cooked through and porridge is very thick and creamy. The bananas will have melted into the porridge.
- Serve with warmed up frozen berries or berry chia jam, nuts and seeds, and/or dark chocolate.
