This Banana Oat Fig Bowl is a great breakfast or snack…really any time of day. And even though figs are only available at the end of summer/beginning of fall, you can still have this recipe any time of year. Simply substitute the figs your for favorite fruit or berry!
Ingredients to make Banana Oat Fig Bowl:
- 1 Banana (about 100 grams)
- ¼ cup Rolled Oats (about 35 grams)
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Creamy Almond Butter (about 10 grams)
- 1 Fig sliced
- ¼ cup Blackberries (about 35 grams)
- ¼ cup Blueberries (about 35 grams)
- ¼ cup Unsalted Mixed Nuts (about 35 grams)
Instructions to make Banana Oat Fig Bowl:
- Start by peeling your banana and chopping it into smaller chunks.
- Then using a fork smash the banana until you have a creamy consistency
- Now add in your oats and vanilla and mix until evenly distributed
- Next, add a dollop of almond butter. (I like to drizzle my almond butter but that is almost impossible. So I put it in a zip lock bag and trim the corner a little bit and squeeze the peanut butter over the top of the oat and banana mixture.)
- Sprinkle the berries and nuts over top
Arrange the sliced figs and enjoy!
