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: In a bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften. You can enjoy the oatmeal cold directly from the fridge or warm it up.
- Heat the Oatmeal (Optional): If you prefer your oatmeal hot, gently heat it in a microwave for 2-3 minutes or warm it in a saucepan over low heat on the stove until it reaches your desired consistency. Adjust the milk quantity to make the porridge thicker or thinner according to your taste.
- Caramelise the Bananas: In a frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil over medium heat until hot. Slice the banana and place the slices in the pan with enough space so they do not touch. Let them fry undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop a golden brown color. Carefully flip the banana slices and fry the other side for another 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the pan and allow it to bubble and thicken for 2-3 minutes, coating the banana slices with the caramelized syrup.
- Assemble the Oatmeal: Spoon the warmed or cold oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with the caramelised bananas, fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, a dollop of your favorite nut butter, and a generous sprinkle of homemade granola for added texture and flavor.
