Chai Spiced Oats

Spice up your breakfast oats (literally) with chai flavours

If you've been making your breakfast oats with just milk – I'm about to change your breakfast game.

This recipe will tickle your tastebuds and give your oats that extra OOMF. Guaranteed to have you feeling ready for the day with a happy tummy.

The addition of caramelised banana really finishes off this dish – a combination of sweet and spiciness makes this one of my favourite oat bowls.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup rolled oats

1 1/3 cup almond milk (or any other milk you desire)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp runny honey, plus a little more to drizzle over the oats at the end

1 tbsp butter

1 banana

METHOD

1. In a microwavable bowl, mix together oats, cinnamon, ground ginger, all spice and black pepper. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined, then add in the milk and mix well.

2. Put the oats aside for now whilst you prep your caramelised banana.

3. For the caramelised banana, heat up a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and place butter and honey into the. pan. Allow the butter and honey to melt and bubble, then place your banana slices in. Cook these until they are golden brown and glistening. Flip them over to pan-fry the other side.

4. Begin warming up your oats. Microwave for 2.5-3 minutes on medium power (my microwave's standard power is 600W).

5. Remove oats from the microwave, and take bananas off the pan and into your bowl of oats, along with a little drizzle of honey and sprinkle of cinnamon.
