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.

How to make it step by step

STEP 1: Add the oats, milk, turmeric, and salt into a medium pot.

STEP 2: Cook for about 3 minutes, until the oats are soft, stirring from time to time (If you‘re using rolled oats, you need to cook them for about 10 minutes). Add more liquid if necessary.

STEP 3: Remove the pot from the heat, add in mashed with fork bananas.

STEP 4: Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out seeds with a spoon, add to the pot.

STEP 5: Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and lime juice.

STEP 6: Stir all the ingredients together.

Enjoy!

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).
