Directions

  1. Prepare the Banana:

    In a bowl, mash the banana with a fork, leaving some clumps if desired. A ripe banana will make the dish naturally sweeter.

  2. Cook the Oatmeal:

    In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, Carrot Spreggies, and water. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. Simmer and Thicken:

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.

  4. Cool and Serve:

    Remove the pan from heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving.

  5. Optional Sweetness:

    For extra sweetness, sprinkle coconut sugar or your preferred sweetener on top. The coconut sugar adds a subtle crunch that pairs well with the creamy oatmeal.
