Ingredients for Creamy Banana Oatmeal Bowl

 

Start by heating water on high in a sauce pan until it comes to a rolling boil.

 

Water boiling in a pan

 

Slowly add the steel cut oats.

 

Give a stir, cover the pan and then turn the heat down to simmer.

 

While the oats are cooking, chop the bananas and measure the cinnamon, ground flax seed and raisins. I love these ingredients for adding antioxidants, omega 3s, dietary fiber and iron to the oatmeal bowl.

 

After about 20 minutes of simmering, they should be cooked. Cook more or less to reach your desired consistency.

 

Cooked Steel Cut Oats

 

 

Now stir in the remaining ingredients (bananas, raisins, cinnamon and ground flax seed) or arrange them on top of individual bowls.

 

Enjoy this creamy and naturally sweet, nutritious and satisfying bowl for breakfast or an afternoon snack. And customize it to make it your own with

 

FRUIT such as diced apples or mangoes, berries, and chopped figs or dates

 

COCONUT FLAKES

 

COCOA POWDER

 

NUTS such as pecans or walnuts

 

SEEDS such as pumpkin, hemp or chia

 

Here are a few of my favorite toppings.

The recipe serves 4 people. Cooking for yourself? Make this big batch and store it in the fridge to eat throughout the week. It thickens as it cools so, to reheat, you might like to add a bit more water or plant-based milk, give it a stir, and cook it in a saucepan or microwave until nice and warm.
