Eating oatmeal for breakfast is one of my favorite things about waking up each morning (although Michael would disagree :P). To avoid getting bored with the stuff, I am always trying to come up with creative new combinations to maximize my oatmeal's flavor and nutrients. I just tried a new "coconut-banana" combination this morning, and it is absolutely delicious! Plus it's low in fat and void of any added/processed sugars - making it a healthy breakfast choice.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dry oats (I use Full Circle Organic or Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/4-1/2 coconut milk, depending on how creamy you want it
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into pieces
- 2 squirts lemon juice
- 3 drops liquid stevia (optional)
Directions:
- Cook oatmeal on stove-top according to instructions on your package.
- Transfer cooked oats to a bowl, and slowly pour coconut milk over the oatmeal.
- Add lemon juice and liquid stevia.
- Stir to combine.
- Add sliced bananas.
- Enjoy!
