Directions
- Add the oats to a saucepan on medium-high heat along with coconut milk, plant milk, banana, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about 15 minutes*, or until fully cooked. As the banana cooks, it will start to partially dissolve into the oatmeal, which naturally sweetens it.
- When the oats are cooked, stir in the vanilla and remove it from the heat.
- Add your favourite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- * If you were unable to soak the oats overnight, the cooking time will be longer, about 30 - 40 minutes in total. You will also need to add more plant-based milk.
- ** Nutrition tip: aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.
Storage
- Store premade oatmeal, without toppings, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- When re-heating the oatmeal, you may need to add up to an additional ½ cup (120 mL) of plant-based milk to thin out the oatmeal a bit.

I make this recipe probably once a week. It's delicious and it lasts all week. Definitely love it with berries, PB and pumpkin seeds.
