Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Banana Whip
- 1/2 Banana
Toppings
- To taste Dried Persimmons
- To taste Coconut Almonds
- 2 teaspoon Dark Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Cook the oats: Combine the milk, water, quick cooking oats, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Whisk continuously for about 3-5 minutes until the oats begin to thicken.
- Whip in the banana: Thinly slice half of a banana and whisk it into the oatmeal mixture. This helps to create a creamy, whipped texture. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. Continue cooking and whisking for another 3-5 minutes until the oats are soft and creamy.
- Prepare the toppings: Chop the dried persimmons and coconut almonds to your preferred size. These add texture and flavor when served.
- Serve: Immediately plate the whipped oatmeal and top it generously with the dark brown sugar, chopped dried persimmons, and coconut almonds for added sweetness and crunch.
Notes
- Use quick cooking oats for a faster cooking time and creamy texture.
- Adjust the milk quantity to alter the oatmeal thickness.
- Substitute dried persimmons and coconut almonds with other dried fruits and nuts if desired.
- For vegan option, use plant-based milk instead of dairy milk.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
