Berry Banana Oat Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large bananas, sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chopped pecans, toasted
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, toasted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. 1In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then add the oats and salt, reducing the heat to low and simmering, covered, for 10-12 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have a creamy consistency.
2. 2While the oats cook, caramelize the bananas in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are deeply golden and tender.
3. 3In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. 4Add the mixed berries to the bowl with the honey mixture and toss gently to coat.
5. 5To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked oats between two bowls, followed by a spoonful of the caramelized bananas, a dollop of yogurt, and a spoonful of the honey-coated berries.
6. 6 Sprinkle the toasted pecans and shredded coconut over the top of each bowl.
7. 7Drizzle any remaining honey mixture over the bowls and serve immediately.
