30 Days of Oatmeal: Cinnamon Banana Lime

I went with a tropical theme here, adding lime juice, vanilla, and cinnamon to the porridge base. I also sliced half the banana into the oats. This nicely melded the flavors before adding more bananas as a topping.

Coconut or nut butter would go great with this recipe, I just chose to omit them this time.

Ingredients:

1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 c water
1 t cinnamon
4 t lime juice
1 t vanilla
1 banana, sliced and divided

Directions:

1. In a small sauce pan, combine the oats and the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low.
2. When oats reach desired consistency, stir in cinnamon, lime juice, vanilla, and half the sliced bananas.
3. When ingredients are mixed, transfer porridge to a bowl and top with remaining sliced bananas.
