- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy milk of choice
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon plus additional for topping
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup old fashioned oats gluten-free if needed
- 2 bananas 1 mashed and 1 sliced for serving
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy cream If dairy free can use the thick coconut cream from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk
In a medium saucepan, whisk together water, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add the oats and mashed banana. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes, until thickened to your liking.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide between two bowls. Top with heavy cream, remaining sliced banana, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving.
- Use old-fashioned oats for this recipe. Quick oats tend to get too mushy when cooked for too long.
- If you are gluten-free, make sure your oats are gluten-free certified, or better yet, purity protocol oats.
- You’ll use two bananas in this recipe, one will be mashed and combined with the oats. The other is sliced and used as a topping.
- If you don’t want to use brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar, coconut sugar, or pure maple syrup for this recipe.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, use unsweetened almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk in the oats. Then, drizzle non-dairy milk over the top of your oatmeal before serving.
- If you like your oatmeal to be thicker, cook for the full 8 minutes until thick. If you like your oatmeal on the runnier side, start checking around 5 minutes. You can also add an additional ½ cup of milk to the mixture if you prefer it looser.
