BANANA PUREE STEEL CUT OATMEAL WITH BLUEBERRY, RASPBERRY, AND ALMOND SLIVER TOPPING

They say that part of enjoying a dish is feasting with your eyes, and with this breakfast being quite colorful and pretty, it really fits the bill.  The taste is quite yummy too as the sweetness of the bananas works well with the berry toppings.  I personally don't think it needs any sugar on top, but if that is something you would like, just add some maple syrup and you are going to have a sweet treat!

I get so full from eating oatmeal,  It is considered a diet food by some because you don't feel like snacking for hours afterwards, and it gives you the energy that you need to keep going.  It is such a great way to start the day! This oatmeal is pretty simple to make, and provides you with quite an impressive, and filling breakfast.

BANANA PUREE STEEL CUT OATMEAL WITH BLUEBERRY, RASPBERRY, AND ALMOND SLIVER TOPPING

Ingredients:

1 cup of gluten free steel cut oatmeal
3 cups of water
2 ripe bananas
1/4 cup of your favorite vanilla flavor non dairy milk ( I used my easy cashew milk recipe: How to make vanilla cashew milk)
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of strawberries
1 cup of slivered almonds

Preparation:

In a small saucepan, bring the water along with the steel cut oatmeal to a boil under medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cook covered for 20 minutes.
Mix a few times during this process.
In the mean time, in a small bowl, put the bananas, the non dairy milk, and the cinnamon together and mash with a fork until you get a chunky puree consistency.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, turn off the heat, and add the mashed banana mixture to it. Mix well.
Put the banana oatmeal into 4 individual bowls, and top equally with the blueberries, raspberries, and almond slivers.
Enjoy!
