Instructions
- Add oats, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and peanut butter into a medium/large pot.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until soft. At first, the oatmeal will be very runny but after adding the remaining ingredients and during cooling it will thicken significantly.
- Remove the pot from the heat, add coconut oil, lemon juice, and mashed bananas. After a minute or so, your oatmeal should have a perfect creamy, thick, but still pourable consistency.
- Pour your oatmeal into bowls and top with your favorite toppings (I like a drizzle of peanut butter mixed with maple syrup, 1-2 chopped cubes of bittersweet chocolate, and roasted and salted peanuts for crunch).
- Enjoy!
Notes
- We always eat this oatmeal right after making it but if I plan on saving it for the next day, I will bring it once again to a boil after adding the bananas. This recipe calls for adding bananas after the oatmeal has been cooked to preserve some of their nutritional value which is partially lost after cooking the bananas. It is also a way to cool your oatmeal quicker (by adding cold bananas to a very hot oatmeal). Fresh bananas in the oatmeal will store better until the next day if they have been cooked a little.
- This recipe has a high milk-to-oats ratio because this is what we prefer – I like it when my oatmeal is not too thick – it should still be pourable when I add it to my bowl. If you want thicker oatmeal, add 1/2 cup less milk.
- This oatmeal is already pleasantly sweet with just mashed bananas but we like it extra sweet so I´m adding maple syrup. You can omit it if you´d like a less sweet oatmeal. You could also add fewer bananas.
- Coconut oil makes the oatmeal a little bit more creamy and adds a touch of coconut flavor. You can omit it if you don´t have it on hand.
