Zutaten / Ingredients
  • 1 cup / about 80g rolled oats
  • 2 cups / 300ml almond milk → of course this recipe will work with water as well. Yet, your oatmeal will be less creamy, but also less in calories (and sugar)
  • 1 tbsp / 25g cashew butter (recipe)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
TOPPINGS
  • 1 banana
  • roasted cashew nuts
  • 2-3 dates
  • more cinnamon (more is always better when it comes to cinnamon)
OPTIONAL
  • sweetener of choice (e.g. maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut sugar, honey...) - if you are using a sweetened milk already this probably won't be necessary)
Zubereitung / Instructions
  1. Add the rolled oats with almond milk, cashew butter and cinnamon to a microwave save bowl and mix them together.
  2. Heat it up in the microwave for 1 minute, take the bowl out again and stir it thoroughly.
  3. Add it for another minute to the microwave. In the meantime you can slice the banana.
  4. Take the oatmeal out again, give it another good stir and add the banana slices on top.
  5. Let's put it into the microwave for a last round. 1,5 – 2 minutes this time.
  6. Overall I heated my oatmeal for 4 minutes in total, while stirring it every minute. Depending on your microwave and desired texture it might take you shorter or longer. My microwave oatmeal had a moist and creamy texture after 4 minutes.
  7. You can now decorate your oatmeal with toppings to taste. I added roasted cashew nuts, chopped dates and more cinnamon. Serve immediately.
