    Caramelized Banana Oatmeal – my absolute favorite oatmeal recipe! The perfect breakfast for everybody who loves a warm meal in the morning that is long-lasting and quickly prepared.

    No wonder oatmeal is such a popular breakfast. It’s delicious, healthy, simple to prepare, long-lasting, and ensures a powerful start into the day.

    A breakfast recipe for the whole family – ready in 15 minutes and thus perfectly suitable for weekdays.

    It can be served with all kinds of toppings, yet my number one oatmeal topping is caramelized banana!

    Oatmeal & Caramelized Banana

    Seriously, it’s a mind-blowing combination!

    Caramelized bananas are so soft, sweet, and have such a wonderful caramel flavor. Add a pinch of cinnamon powder, toasted sunflower seeds, nuts, or almond butter, and you are holding the most delicious power breakfast in your hands!

    The complete package provides you with high-quality nutrients and ensures a productive and energized morning without feeling hungry or growling stomach. Oatmeal is also very easy to digest, contains fiber, and positively affects intestinal health.

    Furthermore, this oatmeal is made without refined sugar. One tablespoon of maple syrup is all you need to caramelize the bananas and thus sweeten the oatmeal naturally.

    Toasted Oatmeal

    To make oatmeal even more delicious, I highly recommend to first toast the rolled oats in a small pot until golden brown before adding the milk and water. The rolled oats unfold amazing aromas through the roasting process and give the oatmeal a little more bite!

    Creature of habit? Stick to the classic oatmeal recipe if you prefer, that’s perfectly fine! 😉 Traditional untoasted oatmeal is slightly softer and more tender in taste.

    By the way, there are many other delicious oatmeal toppings you can choose from, such as:

    • Fresh Fruit & Berries
    • Toasted Nuts & Seeds
    • Almond Butter
    • Cooked Plums
    • Raspberry Chia Jam
    • Poached Rhubarb

    Aline’s Tip: Use plant-based milk (I prefer almond milk or oat milk) with vanilla flavor or ½ tsp vanilla extract for a beautiful vanilla flavor!

    Can I speed up this recipe? Mornings should be quick and easy! 😉 Skip the caramelized banana and place rolled oats, water, milk, and banana slices (or mash banana) in a bowl and cook it in the microwave. Top with maple syrup and cinnamon powder.

    Can I cook the oatmeal solely with water? Of course. Replace the milk with water to cook your oatmeal. It will have fewer calories yet is also less creamy.
