Directions
- To a medium pot on high heat, add the oats, milk, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and one of the bananas. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring on occasion to prevent burning. The banana will start to partially dissolve at it cooks, which naturally sweetens the oatmeal.
- Add the other banana and flaxseeds, cooking for another 2 - 5 minutes.
- Add more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency, or cook for a couple of minutes longer if you prefer it thicker.
- In the end, stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from the heat. Add toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- * Nutrition tip: aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.
Storage
- Store the oatmeal, without toppings, in an #airtightcontainer in the fridge for up to 2 days.
