Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Banana Mixture
- 1 medium Banana (ripe)
- 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Toppings
- 1/4 cup Walnuts (chopped; optional)
Instructions
- Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and sea salt. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats become soft, fluffy, and the water has mostly evaporated.
- Prepare the banana blend: While the oats cook, add the ripe banana, cottage cheese, Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine and heat: Stir the smooth banana mixture and the chopped walnuts (if using) into the cooked oats in the saucepan. Heat the combined mixture for 1-2 minutes over medium heat to meld the flavors and warm the nuts.
Notes
- You can substitute the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a different texture and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less of the brown monk fruit blend according to your taste preference.
- For a vegan version, replace cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt or silken tofu.
- Walnuts can be omitted or swapped with other nuts like almonds or pecans.
- Make sure the banana is ripe to maximize natural sweetness and flavor in the blend.
