Tropical Oatmeal

Tropical Oatmeal

I love using bananas in oatmeal as the main form of sweetener and this chilly morning was definitely one that called for a hot bowl of oatmeal.  For a change however, I thought I would try a twist on my usual banana, walnut and cinnamon combination and throw in a slightly tropical twist.  By adding just a small amount of coconut oil, shredded coconut and some chia seeds for texture, I created this delicious, nutritious, tropical delight.  It was too good not to share!!  Now if only I was eating it in the tropics too!!

Tropical Oatmeal

1/4 C. soaked chia seeds

Cook the oats and milk in a microwave safe dish according to package instructions.  Stir in the coconut oil until blended through. Add in all the other ingredients and reheat for about a minute if necessary. Serve with a side of sliced kiwi!
