Cinnamon vanilla almond oatmeal topped with caramelized maple bananas. This caramelized banana almond oatmeal is delicious and perfect for breakfast.
Hi! This is Andrea from Cooking with a Wallflower. I’m back this month to share with you an amazing breakfast recipe that you’re sure to love.
I can’t believe it’s already April. I just got back from vacation in New Orleans where I had indulged in Southern comfort food and as many beignets as I wanted. If you haven’t been to New Orleans before, I highly recommend going. The food is amazing, the culture is fun, and the architecture is soo gorgeous. I already want to go back. Do you have any vacation plans coming up?
In the mean time, let’s talk about this caramelized banana almond oatmeal.
I’ve been obsessed with breakfast lately, and I’ve been wanting something that took breakfast to the next level. Oatmeal is a common staple in the morning because it’s easy to make and very filling. But plain oatmeal is, well, just boring. So to spice it up a little, I added a pinch of ground cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract. The oats are cooked in almond milk to create a creamy texture. And suddenly your morning oatmeal becomes warm, comforting, and a little exciting.
Even better, to your morning oatmeal with caramelized bananas. Sliced bananas cooked in maple syrup until it’s sweet and caramelized. If you’re in the mood, you can just eat the caramelized bananas all on their own as a snack too.
Cook the oats in almond milk according to the directions on the package. Add ground cinnamon and vanilla extract, and a little bit of maple syrup. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
In a small skillet, add a little bit of vegetable oil and maple syrup over low heat. Then add sliced bananas. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bananas are caramelized.
Top the oatmeal with the caramelized bananas.
Serve the caramelized banana almond oatmeal warm.
Enjoy!
