Whole30 Mock Oatmeal — Adrien Petersen

I am an absolute sucker for oatmeal. If you ask my family or any of my roommates over the years, they would undoubtedly agree. There’s something about warm, sweet, thickened oats that I can’t get enough of. I have a sweet tooth so having oatmeal for breakfast topped with sliced banana, cinnamon, and honey makes for the perfect start to any day. Now that I am restricted from eating oats on my Whole30 diet, I had to get creative. This recipe was inspired by one of my colleagues who is Paleo. Bon appetit!
Ingredients:
-1 whole banana
-1 tbsp unsweetened shredded raw coconut
-1/2 tbsp Justin’s Almond Butter
-about 10 roasted and salted almonds (slivers would be preferrable, although I used the back of a spoon to crush my whole almonds)
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 cup Silk Unsweetened Cashew milk
Method:
1. Slice banana however thick you prefer
2. Combine the sliced banana, almond slivers (or crushed bits), almond butter, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and cashew milk into a microwavable bowl
3. Microwave the mixture for approximately 45 seconds
4. Stir the mixture and enjoy!
