With Sunday's post on
Kale Chips and today's post on oatmeal, I think I have proved that sometimes delicious food doesn't look appealing. Despite pictures that say otherwise, both the
Kale Chips and my oatmeal are amazing. This oatmeal recipe, actually it's far from a recipe and more like a concoction, is what got me through long school days this past semester. Days where I would have to go 5 hours without eating, and for me that is a very long time.
I call it Banana Creme Oatmeal. And believe me, oatmeal never tasted so good.
I know there is about a billion variations of oatmeal circulating in the blog world, and so maybe someone else thought of this exact thing before me, but from my knowledge this is my own little breakfast invention.
What's inside?
-1 C. Plain, Unsweet Almond Milk
-1 Very Ripe Banana
-1/2 C. Oats
-Cinnamon
-Coconut Flakes
Step 1: Boil 1 cup of almond milk with the lid off. It boils pretty quickly, and when I had the lid on it kind of exploded...
Step 2: Pour in the oats.
Step 3: Slice the banana into pieces and put into the pot.
Step 4: Cook it until the oatmeal reaches your preferred thickness. The longer you cook, the more almond milk it'll absorb, and the thicker it'll be. (I guess I am kind of stating the obvious...)
Step 5: Put it into a bowl and mix in desired amount of cinnamon and coconut flakes.
Step 6: Stuff your face and pretend you're eating banana creme pie.
I really do love oatmeal. I think it is the best breakfast because it holds me for so long.
Today's lift was pretty boring because Rachael was sick and so I was alone...

Quick Rant: Summer classes are boring and are sucking the life out of me. I don't think I can continue sitting in class for 4 hours and 10 minutes straight everyday for the next 4 weeks...
