Description
A comforting breakfast featuring creamy oats and warm caramelized bananas, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or dairy-free alternative
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional)
- Cherries for topping (optional)
- Sliced strawberries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat. Cook while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, or until the mix reaches a creamy consistency.
- Caramelize the bananas: While the oats cook, slice the bananas into coins. In a skillet, melt the butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the banana slices and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bananas become tender and golden.
- Assemble your bowl: Once the oats are ready, transfer them to serving bowls. Top with caramelized bananas, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and sprinkle with chopped nuts, whipped cream, and cherries for an extra touch.
- Serve and savor: Enjoy warm, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the oats and store in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat and add fresh caramelized bananas before serving.
