Bananas are one of the most wasted produce items! Once they turn brown, folx tend to toss them. Well, binned bananas no more! This recipe uses up the overripe banana you have sitting out on the counter, looking forlorn. Banana bread is always on call but maybe we want a different vegan delight–a naturally sweetened, filling, and good for you breakfast bowl. Heck, ya may even leave your bananas out just for this bruised banana oatmeal. The fruit cooks down with the oats, injecting that sweet brown banana flavor, brought out by a bit of cinnamon and those toasted nuts and seeds. Less food waste, more great breakfast options. You can add in your 5 minute, package-free hemp milk to keep everything in the loop. Honestly, it might be your go-to breakfast from here on out. Simple, naturally sweet, and hearty. Oatmeal, thank you for all that you do.
Feel free to add in whatever fixings you have on hand to make this your own! An easy vegan breakfast you can customize with a variety of nuts, dried fruits, shredded coconut, seeds, spices, and milks. The possibilities are endless.
What do you add to your oatmeal?? #closedloopcooking

I saw your post last night with recipe, and was inspired to put that brown banana in my fruit bowl to use this morning! Ive never thought to mash it into my oatmeal, boy oh boy was it delicious! I used 1C almond milk instead of 1/2C water and it was great! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you liked it! Seriously easy, right??
