How To Make Whipped Brown Sugar Banana Oatmeal
How To Prepare the Whipped Oatmeal
Preparing the whipped oatmeal is super easy. It’s like cooking regular oatmeal but with continuous whisking. You will need a medium-sized pot, whisk, and oatmeal ingredients. Combine your ingredients in your pot and bring it to boil, and let your mixture reduce or start to have a thicker consistency. You can now begin to whisk it continuously until you have a thick oatmeal mixture. Slowly add in your thin-sliced banana and continue to whisk until you have a creamy and thick banana oatmeal mixture. Continuous whisking will incorporate air and will give you the whipped effect and extra creamy oatmeal.
How To Assemble the Whipped Brown Sugar Banana Oatmeal
While your whipped oatmeal is hot, assemble your bowl with dark brown sugar and chopped nuts and fruits. Topping the brown sugar to hot oatmeal will help it melt and create an almost brown sugar syrup. You can add your favorite nuts and dried fruits.
