Ingredients
Scale
Basic Oatmeal
- ½ cup gluten free porridge oats
- 1 cup nut milk of choice
- 1 tsp chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Caramelised Bananas
- 1 banana
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Oatmeal Toppings
- A handful of raspberries
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 1 tsp smooth nut butter
- A sprinkle of homemade granola
Instructions
- Prepare overnight oats: In a bowl, combine the gluten free porridge oats, nut milk, chia or flax seeds, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Mix all ingredients well until evenly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Heat oats (optional): You can enjoy your overnight oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them. To warm, gently heat for a couple of minutes either in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove, adjusting the amount of milk to reach your preferred porridge consistency.
- Caramelise bananas: Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place sliced bananas into the pan, ensuring they have space between them to avoid sticking. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until browned, then gently flip and cook another 2 minutes.
- Add syrup & thicken: Pour 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bananas in the pan. Allow the syrup to bubble and cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the bananas beautifully.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon the prepared oatmeal into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the caramelised bananas, fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, a dollop of smooth nut butter, and a sprinkle of homemade granola for texture and extra flavor.

- Adjust the thickness of the oatmeal by varying the amount of nut milk added.
