This vanilla oatmeal with caramelized banana and nut butter is warm, cozy and, gooey and perfect to a foggy cold morning (but I love it all year round!).
To make the cooking faster in the morning, I am going to soak some old-fashioned oats in the night before and in the morning I just have to drain them and heat them along with some plant-based milk.
I am using old-fashioned oats or rolled oats because, from all of the oat types, these have for me the best ration of cooking time to nutritional value. They have the fibers almost intact and for that reason conserve a better nutritional profile, promoting your satiety and gut health.
This porridge is best served hot with the caramelized bananas on top with some almond butter and some other toppings of your choice like quinoa grains, pumpkin seeds, and pomegranate seeds. Enjoy this warm and filling porridge!
