(5 from 4 votes)Always a challenge to find kid-approved recipes. This one is a main- stay in my kitchen and is great for adults and kids. I omit the salt and date paste (banana makes it sweet enough even for the kids). Set up your toppings and let everyone add their favorites, Can add walnuts, or hemp seeds as healthy fats. We tend to go heavy on the fruit. Fresh pineapple is amazing; but canned will work equally well. I tend to skip the chocolate chips but it is a real winner with the kids.
I love this recipe. I can usually make about 3 servings out of it for me. I don’t usually like bananas with oatmeal but this was delicious. So creamy. I added ground hemp and flaxseeds, plus chopped walnuts, strawberries, and blueberries to the end product. Yummy!
Instead of date paste, add nut butter, like, 1 tablespoon. Or chop up a fresh Medjool date. Use fresh pineapple, because the juice from canned is loaded with sugar (like the date paste is).
Delish, thanks. I added some walnut and hemp seed.
You can make date paste with dates and water. Stores well in the refrigerator .
