Description

This recipe for no added sugar banana oatmeal is my toddler’s favorite oatmeal recipe. It’s full of fiber, protein, omega-3s and healthy fats!

Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe banana
1 tsp coconut oil
1/8-1/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash of salt
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon hemp hearts
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small heavy pot, melt coconut oil over low heat and add banana. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, mashing banana with a wooden spoon, until it’s broken down and more smooth creamy in consistency.
Add cinnamon, salt, oats, chia, milk and water and cook over low heat until mixture is thickened and oats are softened. You may have to add a few more tablespoons of milk or water if it seems too thick or dense. This process will take 5-7 minutes. Avoid turning up the heat. Low and slow is the way to go!
Stir in peanut butter and hemp hearts and let oatmeal cool a bit before serving.

Notes

Leftovers keep well in fridge. You just may need to add a little liquid when reheating.
