Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (use gluten free oats if needed)
  • 1 1/2 cups Almondmilk Coconutmilk Original Unsweetened
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1-2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (optional)
  • Honey, for drizzling (optional)
  • Chopped almonds
  • 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine oats, almond coconutmilk, water, and chia seeds. Bring to a low boil, then simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often until the liquid is absorbed and the oats thicken, about 15 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If the mixture is too thick, thin with more milk.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet to medium-high. Add coconut oil if using. Sprinkle banana slices with coconut sugar. Once hot, add bananas in a single layer and cook for 1 minute per side until caramelized.
  4. Divide oatmeal among two bowls. Top with warm caramelized bananas, dark chocolate, a drizzle of honey, and chopped almonds.
  5. Enjoy immediately for the best creamy, warm, and caramelized experience!

Notes

- For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Don't overcook the bananas; they should be tender and caramelized, not mushy.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or coconut sugar.
