Banana Bread Oatmeal

Print Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1 ripe, spotty banana mashed
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts and/or chia seed (whole or ground)
  • generous sprinkle of cinnamon to taste
  • splash of vanilla extract
  • pinch of Himalayan pink salt optional

Method
 

  1. In a small sauce pot, over medium high heat, stir together oatmeal and water. Bring to a boil and then lower heat. 
  2. Stirring frequently, add in mashed banana, cinnamon, vanilla, ground flax and hemp, chia or any other nuts/seeds desired. Keep stirring until the oatmeal becomes creamy and reaches desired texture. Add extra water or plant milk as needed. Finish with an optional sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt, extra banana slices and any other toppings. 

Notes

Make sure your bananas are ripe and spotted to ensure sweetness and banana flavor – just like you would in banana bread.
To cut down on time and clean up, I usually mash the banana with a fork right in the sauce pot or in the bowl that will be used for the finished oatmeal.
Be sure to stir well after adding in whole chia seeds as they quickly get gelatinous and can clump together.
For added creaminess you can substitute water for your favorite plant milk.
