Vanilla, Maple, and Banana Oatmeal

Ingredients

2 yellow, but not overripe bananas

1 tablespoon oil

2 1/2 cups coarse flaked oats

6 + 1 cups your choice of plant-based milk

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 good quality vanilla bean split in half

2 pinches salt

Nut butter of your choice and crushed praline peanuts for garnish

Preparation

• Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthways.
• Heat the oil in the Fondussimo bowl on setting 3, then caramelize the bananas for about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.
• Roast the oats on setting "5" for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add six cups of plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla bean and salt, bring to a boil, then reduce to setting 1 and simmer for 15 minutes. If the oatmeal thickens too much, add milk to achieve the desired consistency.
• Garnish with nut butter, caramelized banana halves and crushed praline peanuts, cover with lid for 5 minutes, then serve.

A few tips

• If you have access to a refrigerator, our vegetable milk of choice is unsweetened oat milk. Almond milk and soy milk offer interesting unrefrigerated alternatives.
• The real secret of this recipe is the quality of the vanilla used! The Fondussimo team fell in love with Colibri Vanille from Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée de Colibri Vanille. Of course, you can use 1-2 tsp. vanilla essence instead.
• Serve the remaining vegetable milk to your guests, who can adjust the consistency of their porridge to their liking.
