Description
Warm oats meet dark chocolate, sweetened by banana and deepened by coconut. Enjoy this bowl any morning for a dessert-for-breakfast kind of meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of quick-cooking oats (these are rolled oats that have been cut to dissolve quicker, you can use regular oats instead)
- 2/3 cup of plant-based milk
- 2 cups of water
- 2 ripe bananas, quartered
- 2 TBSP raw cacao or cocoa powder
- generous pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- 4 TBSP of coconut milk
- 1 TBSP of coconut oil
- 1 TBSP of maple syrup or honey (optional)
Toppings:
- almond or other nut butter, coconut flakes, bee pollen, granola, berries, banana, fresh fruit, cacao nibs, goji berries, …
Instructions
- Start by putting the oats with the liquid (except the coconut milk), banana, cinnamon and cocoa powder in a pot and bringing it to a boil on high heat. Once the oats are cooking, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3-6 minutes, until the oats are very soft and the banana starts to dissovle (this will help sweeten your oatmeal).
- Now stirr in the coconut milk and coconut oil and mix until the oil has melted and everything is warmed through.
- Taste to see if its sweet enough for your taste and add maple syrup or desired sweetener if you like.
- Put into bowls and serve the oatmeal with your favourite toppings. I like some nut butter, bee pollen and some extra cacao nibs but feel free to go wild!
