Bananas Foster and Oatmeal

By blum099

Ingredients

• For the Bananas Foster:
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp plant milk of choice
• 2 tsp rum extract (can omit)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp molasses
• 1 banana
• For the Oatmeal:
• 1 cup plant milk of choice, or water
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first five ingredients in a small skillet with a whisk.
Cut banana in half lengthwise, and then across so you have four pieces. Place the banana pieces cut-side down in the skillet. Turn the heat on medium low.
Meanwhile, bring milk (I use 1/2 c almond milk and 1/2 c water) to a boil in a saucepan, add oats, and reduce heat to medium. (If you’d like to add a teaspoon of flax or chia seeds, do so now.)
By this point, your bananas should be caramelizing on the bottom and the mixture should be thickening and bubbling. Flip them over and let them cook on the other side until both sides are nice and covered in caramel mixture.
Back to the oatmeal: once more of the liquid has absorbed, add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir.
When you’re pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of your milk of choice and the Bananas Foster. Optional: top with vegan banana soft serve!
