Cinnamon Banana Oatmeal!
Susan is back with a great breakfast recipe: Cinnamon Banana Oatmeal!
A couple of weeks ago, Girl Chef shared her oatmeal recipe and it looked really yummy. So the next morning, when my husband cooked us oatmeal (his favorite breakfast…and he cooks it….even better), I added some of her suggested ingredients. Here is her recipe, but below is mine. Hers looks pretty healthy and different and mine has a little more of the old comfort food flare…as in butter and brown sugar. Either way, how about some oats for breakfast? We use Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats.
CINNAMON AND BANANA OATMEAL
1 cup of oats
1 cup of water
1 cup of milk
1 tbsp butter
a dash of salt
1 tbsp brown sugar
a dash of cinnamon
1/2 large banana or 1 small one
1/8—1/4 cup of Fat Free Half and Half
nuts, nutmeg, ginger, cloves (all optional)
Cook the oats, water, milk, butter and salt in a deep glass bowl in the the microwave for 5 minutes. Stir and cook another 3 minutes. Make sure the bowl is big enough to allow for the boiling and rising. Take out and pour into a bowl. Pour enough FF Half and Half on it and stir until it is the consistency you like. Dash it with cinnamon and add a sliced or chopped banana. Optional: add any kind of nuts, nutmeg, ginger, cloves
Hi, my name is Susan and I have only been blogging for a few months but I love it.Permanent Posies (Creative Chaos) is my blog and my subject matter is…well, that depends on the day and the mood. But, for the most part, I love cooking, watching the Food Network, reading cookbooks and, of course, eating. I am also an artist and spend time each week in my studio (bedroom) oil painting. I am a mother of four and a grandmother to 5 and that, along with my husband and 2 dogs, take up my most of my time. I am a side-tracked Home Executive and I had the privilege of being a stay –at-home mom so, you might say that my passion is the home and making a haven for those I love. I am quite skilled at shopping 🙂 and finding a bargain just makes my day.

Mmm…thanks Susan for sharing this recipe. My boyfriend loves oatmeal, but sticks to his usual Brown Sugar Quaker Oatmeal. I’ll try this out for him. Looks easy and your picture makes it look yummy! Do you have any more recipes I can try out?
