Want something simple yet elegant? Here’s a recipe we made by accident. I’m not a real fan of oatmeal. I don’t like sugar in it, either. John always asks me if I want some of his. I usually don’t, but this one day I did. I wasn’t ready to eat it when he was so he put it back on the burner. We love fresh frozen blueberries heated up in it and I love bananas in it, too, but usually just added on top after served. He had added the bananas and put it back on the burner on low. I ate it about 1/2 hour later. The bananas caramelized & tasted like plaintains! Oh, the oatmeal was so good! Mmm, warm oatmeal heated w/blueberries and caramelized bananas! Here’s the recipe:
- 1 C quick cooking oats
- 3 C water
- 1/4 C blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 1 T flax seeds
- 1 T chia seeds
- 1 medium-sized banana
Directions
- Add water to the oatmeal. Add the flax and chia seeds. Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute.
- Turn burner to low and add blueberries and bananas.
- Cover pan.
- Cook on low for 5-10 minutes until bananas are caramelized.
