caramelized banana oatmeal

Caramelized Banana Oatmeal! Creamy oatmeal with bananas in a maple syrup/coconut oil glaze. No refined sugar!

Caramelized Banana Oatmeal

rolled Quaker oats

bananas, sliced into rounds

coconut oil

maple syrup

cinnamon

vanilla

chocolate

Cook the oatmeal according to package directions. For extra awesome creamy oatmeal, cook it in milk!

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla, and let it bubble around for a little bit to get incorporated. It should be lightly foamy and bubbly.

Add bananas and simmer for a few minutes on each side until soft and plump.

Remove from heat. Stir half of bananas into oatmeal, and reserve the other half for topping. Add other desired toppings, and mwah! Delicious.

Oatmeal is a household favorite in the fall and adding caramelized bananas takes it it up a notch.

Hi Linda

Bananas are a favorite food coupled with the chocolate of course, delicious

can not wait to make

A definite try for me this Christmas season...!

I've had this bookmarked for a while now.. why in the world did I wait so long to make this?!? We were low on bananas so I used 1 1/2  and then halved the coconut oil/maple syrup combo and it was absolutely perfect! Even my hubby (not the biggest oatmeal fan) said, "This is really good babe!" -- Thanks for another fab recipe, hope you and your family are doing okay!

Hi, Jenna! I tried it (with less syrup) and it was beyond delicious! Easily the best oatmeal ever! Thanks for the recipe :)

Just made this to warm me up on this cool Sydney autumn morning.  Absolutely delish!  Thanks for sharing.

It was delicious! And i hate bananas! I didn't have maple syrup, so i substituted with brown sugar and original syrup. Also, I used the banana and caramel syrup for 2 cups of oatmeal, because it was too much for 1. And for topping, I used walnuts! I also mixed walnuts into the oatmeal along with the bananas. My husband loved it! He can't decide which is his favorite. This one, or a peaches and cream oatmeal I make. I can't decide either.

Delish!
I made mine with butter and threw in some walnuts to caramelized with the bananas, so delicious!
I can see using this over vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or crepes!
I tried to rate this recipe at 5 Stars but it would not allow above four.

I’ve had this bookmarked for ages and finally got around to making it. I make breakfast for the workweek on Sundays and it was so good.

Some comments:
- I used steel cut oats (~1 1/4 cup) because they keep and reheat well. Regular oats do not.
- I used five bananas and increased the coconut oil and maple syrup only slightly. I think the amount of oil for the servings as written would be way too much
- Somewhat counterintuitively, I think regular-ripeness bananas are perfect here. They were soft on the outside after cooking with the syrup but still have enough structure so the oatmeal didn’t taste like mush.

Am thinking about adding in almond butter to up protein.   Thoughts?

Caramelized banana and fig oatmeal made quickly and easily with fig preserves and sweet caramelized banana slices. Topped with coconut!

Caramelized Banana and Fig Oatmeal

oats

banana

butter

brown sugar

fig preserves

Slice the bananas and combine them with the butter and sugar in a small saucepan. Stir it all for a few minutes over medium high heat.

Arrange the bananas on the oatmeal, drizzling the extra caramel sauce on the oatmeal. Stir the fig preserves with a few drops of water until it becomes thin enough to drizzle. Sprinkle coconut on top for looks!
