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: Combine the gluten free porridge oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Caramelise the bananas: Heat 1 tsp of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the banana slices gently in the pan, ensuring they are spaced apart so they don’t touch when flipping. Fry each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Add 2 tbsp of maple syrup to the pan and let it bubble for a couple of minutes, thickening to create a caramel glaze on the bananas.
- Warm the oatmeal (optional): If preferred hot, warm the refrigerated oatmeal either in the microwave for a few minutes or in a saucepan on the stove, adjusting the milk quantity based on your preferred consistency of porridge.
- Assemble the dish: Serve the oatmeal in bowls and top generously with the caramelised bananas, fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, a dollop of your favourite smooth nut butter, and a sprinkle of homemade granola to add crunch.
