Creamy coconut chai spiced oats, naturally sweetened with mashed banana, perfect for cool cozy fall mornings.

If only you could smell my kitchen in the morning when I make oatmeal for Mr. Matt and I for breakfast. I love that I can basically use the same coconut milk and banana base and create any fun flavour combination like adding my DIY Chai Spice blend made with Simply Organic spices. I just like to make a big batch and add it to everything and anything I can think of like smoothies, lattes, trail mix… you name it it’s amazing in everything!

If I told you that I use to hate oatmeal growing up would you believe me? I hardly can believe it myself but yes it’s true…I Nikole Goncalves use to avoid a bowl of oats at all costs. Today I can’t get enough of the stuff and it’s all because of Mamma HealthNut who, a few years ago, told me about her new little secret of adding in mashed up banana to your oats when cooking as they not only melt right in, but add a creamy texture and natural sweetness without any added sugar. It’s funny how the littlest of things can really change the way you cook.

I honestly just think oatmeal is one of the most cost effective but healthy breakfast options out there, not to mention it’s super quick to cook up. During the cooler fall and winter months, there’s really nothing better than a warm bowl of creamy oatmeal with all the toppings, am I right? 😉
