Banana oatmeal, simple

Today we're sharing our simple banana oatmeal recipe that quite honestly we're addicted to at the moment. This oatmeal is made with caramelized bananas (or one banana) and coconut cream and it’s satisfying – a fast and simple breakfast idea for the cold months.

Simple Banana Oatmeal Recipe

So this recipe is actually like dessert and we eat it whenever we crave something sweet, not necessarily for breakfast. Because, we've been skipping breakfast lately and because the last thing we want to eat for breakfast is oatmeal. Someone take our extra teeth. We don’t need them to eat that mush.

But this one, it’s strong. We think the magic word is “caramelized”. Whether it’s a banana or an onion, who cares – it’s with caramel, put it on those oats to make them feel less plain and like they’re actually a part of something bigger and better. We also added some coconut cream, which is that solid part found in coconut milk cans. We found out later we shouldn’t touch coconut milk even with gloves, but hey the damage is done. It was satisfying. We think we mentioned that.

The “method” we used for this study is pretty simple and today you get to enjoy some step by step images that we took by screenshotting the video we made. Innovative, talented, pretty and humble, now you know us. You don’t need to read the about us page on this blog.

How it comes together

The first thing you need to do is slice that banana as if you don’t want it to exist in this world anymore. As if that wasn’t enough torture, add it to a cooking pot with some coconut oil, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Yes, we started adding a little bit of salt to sweet things and we feel pretentious, but we also love it. Mix mix mix.

Then transfer to a small bowl, you don’t need a big bowl – the bananas will feel too lonely, scared and insecure in there and will want to escape. Let them feel cozy as if they’re in Denmark. To achieve this effect you’ll also need to make your room a little bit darker.

Now that the bananas are dreaming of their next beach vacation 6 months from now, you get to make the oatmeal using the same pot because you don’t like cleaning up. Add some water or if you’re rich and famous milk (any type) to that pot, then the oats and stir. Add more water/milk if needed as you go.

If you’re not using milk – stir in the coconut cream and cook for a few more minutes.

Put the oatmeal to a bowl.

Then top with the banana and add some chopped nuts if you want something crunchy and some more coconut cream if you’re feeling like chemicals that day. JK. Remember when we thought coconut milk was better than probiotic yogurt? Wonder who brainwashed us.

Nevertheless, this is satisfying, it’s healthy (let’s ignore our lifelong ignorance about coconut milk) and also it’s gonna be ready in 10 minutes. We hope you enjoy it!
