Banana Orange Date Oatmeal
(4 servings)
- 1 and 1/2 cups orange juice
-
1 and 1/2 cup water
-
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
-
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 and 1/2 cups Old Fashioned or quick cooking oats
-
3/4 cup chopped dates or raisins
-
1 medium ripe banana - mashed
In medium saucepan, bring juice, water, salt and nutmeg to a boil. Stir in oatmeal and dates (or raisins). Return to boil, reduce heat to low.
Cook 1 minute for quick oats or 5 minutes for Old Fashioned oats - stirring occasionally. Stir in the banana. Let stand until you get your desired consistency - it gets thicker as it sets.
Sometimes I'll use a combination of dates, raisins and dried cranberries for a different variation.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.
