Ingredients

  • Oats – I used quick cooking oats – these are regular oats that have been chopped into smaller pieces, that’s why they cook quicker – about 2-3 minutes. You can also use rolled oat but you need to cook them longer, for about 10 minutes.
  • Bananas – it’s a great way to use up ripe bananas if you don’t feel like making banana bread!
  • Passion fruit – look for ripe passion fruit that has wrinkled skin (like in the photos). If you like this tropical fruit you can also make passion fruit curd or passion fruit tart!
  • Coconut oil – makes the oatmeal creamy and smells beautiful. You can omit it if you don’t have it.
  • Maple syrup – you can use honey or xylitol instead.
  • Lime juice – use lemon juice instead.
  • Milk – you can use cow’s milk or plant-based milk like almond milk or oat milk (make sure it’s unsweetened or don’t add maple syrup).
  • Curcuma – it’s optional, I only added it to improve the color of this oatmeal but also it’s very healthy.
  • Salt – just a pinch to season the oatmeal.
  • Shredded coconut – to sprinkle on top, adds texture and flavor.

Storage

This oatmeal reheats very well. If you plan on storing it for more than a couple of hours bring it to a boil (to cook all the ingredients), then cool down and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. It also freezes very well. Thaw in the fridge then reheat in a pot. Add more milk if necessary (cooled oatmeal becomes very thick).
