Cuisine: American, Vegan
Yield: 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup organic steel cut oatmeal
- ½ Tbsp creamy brazil nut butter
- 1 Tbsp creamy almond butter
- 2 - 3 crushed brazil nuts (I like it crushed or ground on the finer side). Reserve for topping.
- 1 tsp Vietnamese cinnamon (has a sweeter flavor profile than regular cinnamon). Reserve ½ tsp for topping.
- ½ medium banana sliced. A medium banana is about 6" long. The banana enhances the flavor of brazil nuts.
- ½ - ¾ cup organic berries (black berries, blue berries, raspberries and/or strawberries (add more or less depending on preference)
- ¼ tsp Celtic, Himalayan or other sea salt (optional)
- 1 tsp flax seeds (optional). Adding will thicken oatmeal so more liquid may be needed.
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional). Adding will thicken oatmeal so more liquid may be needed.
Instructions
- Add 2 cups water to pot and bring to boil
- Add ½ cup steel cut oats and simmer/low heat in covered pot
- Cook about 20 minutes (mixture should not be too thick)
- Rinse and slice organic fruit while cooking oatmeal
- While oatmeal is still hot in pot, add nut butters, seeds (optional), salt (optional) and ½ tsp Vietnamese cinnamon (reserve other ½ tsp for topping)
- Stir mixture and pour oatmeal into bowl. Top with fruits, sprinkle crushed brazil nuts and remaining Vietnamese cinnamon and enjoy!
Notes
For thicker consistency, you can add more nut butter, flax seeds, chia seeds and/or simmer the mixture for a few more minutes. For thinner consistency, add nut milk or hot water until desired consistency reached.
No sweeteners have been added because the ripe fruits and Vietnamese cinnamon should add sweetness. However, if you prefer to add a little sweetener, drizzle some agave, coconut nectar or maple syrup on top.
