Step away from the sugar!
One of my favorite ways to sweeten oatmeal is naturally, by melting in a banana. The banana gets all caramelized, and the oatmeal tastes amazing!
The Melted Banana Trick
Step 1: Cook up the oatmeal or another grain as you normally would.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, melt however much banana you want in the microwave or on the stovetop until it’s all caramelized/gooey. This adds so much flavor to the oatmeal! Now, stir the melted banana into your oatmeal.
Optional Step 3: Take your hand blender or Magic Bullet or regular blender and blend everything together so it’s a nice pudding-y consistency. (You don’t have to follow this step, but it mixes in the caramelized banana nicely.)

Use with the popular Voluminous Oatmeal Trick.
I tried this today and it was amazing!!! Way more flavor than I ever thought it would give me! I also tried out the Voluminous Oatmeal trick too =)
I love your website but I’m sick of these pop up scams that keep coming up whenever I’m looking at a recipe 🙁
Hi, can you explain more about what you are seeing? My ad account manager confirmed that there are no popups on my site, so I’m not sure what you mean by popups. What are the ads for?
Hi Katie, I didn’t know how to reply your reply because it said not to reply the email.
Anyway the pop up says ‘You’ve just won £500 of Tesco vouchers!’ I can take a screenshot of it if you like but I don’t think I can post pictures on here.
This recipe could be even better if a tablespoon of honey is added to the oatmeal and banana or even peanut butter! to even make this recipe sustainable, Fair trade bananas could be used! Also has anyone tried baking the oatmeal after it has been blended one more time?
I recently bought a large quantity of fruit and vegetables for $4. It includes 30 bananas and when googling things to use them for I came across this idea. It tasted so good but now I am wondering if I can make a batch and freeze some of the mixture to use later or if that probably wouldn’t work? Thanks!
