Add some fun flavor to your oatmeal with bananas, caramelized in their own sugar, roasted nuts, and dash of cinnamon.
You're probably thinking how unappetizing this oatmeal looks. I mean, it's banana mash on top of oatmeal. (James even said, "looks like poo mash," but you can ignore him.)
Oatmeal is pretty unphotogenic. But, this oatmeal is meant for eating, and tasty it certainly is! And healthy too. You've got whole grains, protein, and fruit with a bit of cinnamon. Give this nutty caramelized banana oatmeal a try and see what you think!

I don't care what that looks like, I know it is delicious. I love carmelized bananas! A lot of food I prepare for myself looks a little gross but tastes GOOD. Usually, the grosser it looks, the better it tastes. BTW, I love this blog but don't ever comment. I should do that more so that all the blogs I really like can know that there are readers out there, whether they comment or not. Thanks for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteHaha - I know what you mean about gross looking food tasting good, and it's the taste that matters, right? :)
