Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Banana, sliced
  • 1/2 Banana, Sliced
  • 2 tbsp Almond Milk
  • 1 tbsp Raw Organic Cacao Nibs
  • 1 Organic Coconut Flakes
  • 2 tsp Flax Seeds
  • 2 tbsp Dried Cranberries
  • 1 tbsp Local Honey or Maple Syrup

Method

  • I have always cooked this in my rice cooker, so I am writing the recipe step according to the process I use.
  • Combine oats, water, cinnamon and half of the banana in the inner pot of your rice cooker.
  • Stir together a bit.
  • I don't have a porridge setting so I use my quick rice setting.
  • Works great.
  • It'll beep when its done.
  • Stir up to mix in the cinnamon and softened banana evenly.
  • Transfer to bowl.
  • Top with almond milk, other half of the banana slices, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, flax seeds, cranberries, and honey/maple syrup.
  • Then give it a nice stir so you get a little bit of everything down to the last bite.
  • I love banana and coconut, the cranberries and honey/syrup give it just the right amount of sweetness, the cacao nibs have an awesome crunch, the flax seeds give it an extra nutritional boost and the almond milk just thins is out a bit.
  • I stick with this cause I know its good and its the only oatmeal toppings combination I've made that even my 4 yr old enjoys.
  • (Toppings are optional and you can top with whatever you prefer).
  • Other toppings I've used are almonds, chia seeds and various berries.
  • Again, it's whatever you prefer.
  • Enjoy.
  • (Recipe is easily doubled using 1 cup oatmeal, 2 cups water, 1-2 tsp cinnamon and 3/4 or a whole banana).
