Original Recipe Yield 2 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 large banana, slightly mashed
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds

Directions

  1. Whisk the milk, cocoa powder, turbinado sugar, and almond extract together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved; bring the mixture to a simmer.
  2. Stir the mashed banana and oatmeal into the milk mixture; cook at a simmer until the oatmeal is thickened and the banana has broken up slightly, about 5 minutes. Fold the slivered almonds into the oatmeal to serve.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note:
  • The size and sweetness of the fruit will effect the banana flavor, so taste and adjust accordingly.
