Tahini & Banana Oats

Sweet, creamy, nutty and comforting. This flavour combination is a must try.

This is one of my favourite breakfasts. The creamy, nutty flavour from the tahini, combined with the sweet banana and warming oats. Finished with a handful of tart, dried mulberries and a bit of homemade granola (you know, for the crunch), yes please!

THE INGREDIENTS

To make this you will need

• rolled oats, gluten-free if needed

• oat or almond milk (or milk of choice) or water

• a banana

• a good quality runny tahini

• a few dried mulberries (optional)

• homemade granola (optional)

• and a dusting of cinnamon

HOT OR COLD

This breakfast tastes great hot or cold.

You can make a simple overnight oats if you don't like cooked oats. Simply mix the rolled oats with milk of choice to soak overnight and add rest of the ingredients to finish.

If you like baked oats, why not try this baked banana & tahini oats version.

CREAMY COOKED OATS

Some people prefer cooking the oats in water, whereas others prefer milk. I like using half almond milk and half water to make it creamy, but not too rich.

If you want to make it even creamier I suggest adding half a mashed banana into the oats for the last few minutes of the cooking time.

THIS BREAKFAST IS

• filling

• delicious

• comforting

• creamy

• fruit sweetened only and sugar-free

• easy and quick to make

• and nutritious

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

• Substitute the tahini for nut or seed butter.
