Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 cup instant or rolled oats (look for gluten-free oats if you're gluten-free!) 
  • 1/2 cup water (more if needed)
  • 1 cup whole milk or soy milk (or any)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • splash of vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons hemp hearts
  • 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2-4 Tablespoons almond butter, as desired
  • 1/2 cup berries
  • Optional: sweetener of choice, 1/4 cup additional nuts and seeds if desired (flax, pumpkin, sunflower, almond, walnuts, etc.)

Instruction

  • Slice the banana into small rounds, then toss them in a small pot with the oats, 1/2 cup water, and milk. (Milk can scorch on the bottom of the pan, so feel free to start with only the water if desired.)
  • Bring to a very low simmer, then reduce heat, and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir often.
  • As you stir, mash the bananas up a bit until they're well combined. Leave some chunks if desired. Add more water if necessary to continue cooking the oats to your preference.
  • Once desired consistency is reached, remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon & vanilla. 
  • Divide into two bowls and pile high with the hemp hearts, chia seeds, almond butter, and berries.
