Anyone obsessed with breakfast here? Because I definitely am.
Last night I told my mom \"Every day I go to bed thinking about next morning's breakfast\"<\/em>. That is my level of obsession.
WHY? Because I love everything I eat: toast with PB and jam, healthy-ish cakes, but especially oatmeal and...my vegan banana bread<\/a>.
And that is where this banana bread oatmeal<\/strong> <\/span>recipe comes from: I just wanted to have the flavor of my banana bread recipe into my morning bowl of goodness!;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know what to make if you have ripe bananas: this or my banana bread<\/a>!
A great way to start your mornings!

A banana bread oatmeal: the flavor of banana bread into an oatmeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like I mentioned above, the idea for this nutritious oatmeal came to mind after I thought \"Ok, let's try to \"transfer\" the flavor of banana bread into an oatmeal. Let's see what I'll get\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I went to my blog (no, I can't remember my own recipes, except for a few), searched \"banana bread\"<\/em> and literally copied the ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, to get the same sweetness, I decided to caramelize sliced banana in a bit of coconut oil (you can try and use vegan butter or butter) and sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then made my oats in the same pan, and when I tried it... oh man, really tastes like a dessert!!! That banana flavor! I'm literally drooling right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It's delicious, vegan and easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best part of this banana bread oatmeal?
In my opinion, the fact that it's:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Made with healthy<\/strong> ingredients, to keep it 100% nutritious<\/strong>.<\/li>
  2. An easy<\/strong> recipe (VERY EASY), but it still is delicious snack \/ breakfast.<\/li>
  3. Vegan<\/strong> and it's made with a few simple<\/span> ingredients like coconut oil, banana, oats, milk (of your choice), water and raw brown sugar (+ toppings).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That's it. And if you want to \"cuddle\" yourself in the morning, prepare this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You will notice I've used \u00be of tablespoon of raw brown sugar here. You can absolutely reduce the amount (especially if bananas are very ripe - but not mushy - so take advantage of their natural sweetness), but it won't be as delicious, in my opinion. (I need a bit of sweetness in the morning!;)) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alternatively you can use maple syrup, or agave, or other sweeteners (like stevia, which TBH I don't like, or erythritol). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Other ingredients <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Coconut oil (healthy fats) instead will keep you full for a few hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    About the bananas: better if ripe, but not TOO much otherwise they will become too mushy in the pan (it's a great idea for when you have to use up those bananas that you know you're not going to eat soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Banana bread overnight oats? YES.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can absolutely take the recipe below and transform it into overnight oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You just have to prepare it in the evening, then put into a jar, close with the lid and put into the fridge overnight. Simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What about banana bread baked<\/span> oatmeal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can do that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are plenty of great recipes for banana bread baked oatmeal out there but I wanted to keep this<\/span> simple (it's a VERY easy breakfast recipe after all), as a result I cooked in on the stovetop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to that, to be honest, I don't want to turn on my oven first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to make it so it really tastes like banana bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Let's be honest: developing an oatmeal recipe is definitely not difficult. BUT...
    I needed this to really taste like a dessert, to avoid disappointing you. Am I right?;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you follow these steps you will have an amazing nutritious and delicious breakfast that will also satisfy your sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
