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.

Salted Cardamom Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal

Yep, I'm on a cardamom kick! It's SOOO good. This time, I added it to some traditional banana oats.

Mmm! Top it with some pink Himalayan sea salt to bring out the natural sweetness of the banana. Finish off with a dollop of natural peanut butter and dig into the creamy goodness!

Ingredients:

1/2 c old-fashioned oatmeal

1 c water

1/4 t cardamom

1/2 t vanilla

1 banana (half mashed, and half sliced) 
Himalayan sea salt

2 T natural peanut butter

Directions:

1. Bring water and oats to a boil and reduce heat to medium.

2. When oats reach the desired consistency, stir in the cardamom, vanilla, and mashed banana. Simmer oatmeal on low until the liquid absorbs and the porridge is rich and creamy

3. Transfer oatmeal to a bowl and top with the sea salt, sliced bananas, and peanut butter.
