After getting a little sick of having green smoothies for breakfast I decided that a warm breakfast was needed to toast up my cold tootsies one morning this week.  Turns out a lot of you loved what you saw on Instagram and on Facebook so I’ve decided to post it here.

I’m not sure where the initial recipe came from but I think I may have received it as a part of my old subscription with Paleo Plan.  (So don’t start writing mean things on my wall that I stole it. I’m pretty sure it’s a Paleo Plan one but it’s been cut out and put into my recipe folder).

no oat oatmeal

No Oat “Oatmeal”

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup walnuts (really any nuts will work, though)
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 2 Tbs ground flax seed
  • 1/2–1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • dash of freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbs almond butter
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (add more if desired)
  • 2 tsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 handful of fresh berries (optional)

Method

  1. Add walnuts, pecans, flax seed and spices to a food processor and pulse mixture to a coarse grain (make sure to stop before it is ground into a powder). Set aside.
  2. Whisk together eggs and almond milk until the consistency thickens and becomes a loose custard.
  3. Thoroughly blend the mashed banana and almond butter together and add it to the custard, mixing well.
  4. Stir in the course nut mixture.
  5. In a medium saucepan, warm the mixture on the stove until the “no-oatmeal” reaches the desired consistency and the whisked eggs look firm as though cooked; this should only take about 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
  6. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds and berries on top. Add more almond milk if desired.

I personally threw everything into my Thermomix and crunched all the dry ingredients up for a few seconds, making sure I left enough ‘crunch’ and then added the wet ingredients. Then I let it go for 7 mins on 70 degrees on reverse.  Nom Nom!

Have a great weekend everyone and if you liked this recipe please feel free to share.
