Banana Bread Oats
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups toasted coconut almond milk blend (I use Califia) or unsweetened unflavored oat milk (I use Silk)
- 1/4 cup steel cut oats
- 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (for real banana flavor, use a speckled banana)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts
Toppings
- Sliced banana
- Toasted walnut pieces
- Berries (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-small pot over medium heat, bring the milk to a simmer.
- Stir in the oats, mashed banana, and cinnamon.
- Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly been absorbed and the oats are tender. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat, then stir in the salt, vanilla, maple syrup, almond butter, and walnuts. Taste, then adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking.
- Serve with banana slices, more walnuts, and berries, if you wish.
