Let's be real here; who in their right mind doesn't like banana bread. I mean really! What's not to like? Besides of course the lengthy cook time. But wait, if you make banana bread oatmeal, who get all the banana flavour in 1/4 of the time. Oh, this isn't an infomercial? Sorry, it's a food blog. Signing off...
Ingredients
1/3 cup oatmeal
1/2 of a ripe or overripe banana, sliced into 2 equal segments
1/4 tsp banana extract
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cashew butter
Sweetener, to taste (I used about 3 packets Stevia but you could also use sugar, agave, honey, the possibilities are endless)
Measure out the 1/3 cup oatmeal & 1 1/4 cups liquid and pour into a small saucepan on the second highest heat. Chop up 1 segment of the banana into fourths & mash the other. Place in saucepan. Add the banana & vanilla extracts to the mixture. Cook until creamy texture is reached & almost all liquid is absorbed (it will set up in seconds after removed from the heat). Pour oatmeal into a bowl. Add the cashew butter, as well as the sweetener, & stir to combine. Simple as that!
