Description
A slightly sweet, sugar-free breakfast flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. Can be gluten-free and dairy free!
Ingredients
- ½ cups Oats (You May Use Gluten-free Oats)
- ½ cups Water
- ½ cups Milk Of Choice
- 1 whole Banana, Mashed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Imitation Vanilla Extract
Preparation
1. In a saucepan, bring the oats, water, and milk to a boil.
2. While the oats and liquid are coming to a boil, mash the banana. (Note: Slicing the banana, then microwaving it for 30 – 45 seconds will make mashing much easier.)
3. When the oats begin to boil, turn the heat down to medium and stir in the mashed banana. Stir frequently for 5 – 10 minutes, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and thickened.
4. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla, and cook for another minute or two (or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency).
5. Enjoy as-is or top with any nut butter or nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, etc.
