Chunky Monkey Oatmeal

Just read on...

Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings

• 1/2 cup gluten free oats, (I suggest either old fashioned or quick cooking.)
• 1 banana, (no green on the peel please!)
• 1-1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup raw walnuts
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

• Pour 1 cup almond milk, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a pot over the stove on high heat. Bring to a boil.

• Add in oats, and reduce heat to low. 

• Stir twice and allow oats to cook for several minutes. (The amount of time depends on the type of oats you use. Old Fashioned will take about 7-8 minutes, while Quick Cooking only takes about 2 or 3 minutes.)
• Chop up banana, and add to oatmeal.

• Add in remaining 1/4 cup almond milk, cover pot, and allow to sit over low heat for 1 minute.

• Add in maple syrup, and stir/mash the mixture so the banana becomes chunky but mushy.

• Finally, add in the walnuts, stir, turn heat off, and allow to sit covered for 3 minutes.

• Serve warm. mmmmm!!! Literally. mmmmm!!!!!
