Sauteed Banana Apple Gluten Free Oatmeal

Sauteed Banana Apple Gluten Free Oatmeal makes a simple and satisfying breakfast that’s kid-friendly and mom approved.

The last few days we’ve been experiencing a cold front, and temperatures have dipped to 47 degrees. I realize that’s not cold by many people’s standards, but for South Floridians it’s very, very cold. While the cooler weather is a welcome change, I found my family craving warmer foods, especially in the chilly mornings. We rotated between apple cinnamon pancakes, waffles and eggs the first two days, but today we wanted something different.

We had some gluten free certified oats that I’d been wanting to introduce the kids to, so I decided to work on a gluten free oatmeal recipe. Recently, Bolthouse Farms sent me some samples of their new non-dairy Plant Protein Milk to get my honest opinion, and honestly they’re really tasty! As a mom, I really like that each serving has 10 grams of protein that’s derived from peas, and that it’s also a good calcium source. We had some of their Vanilla milk left, so I decided to try my hand at making an oatmeal that was extra rich in protein and naturally sweetened without refined sugars.  

The result was Sauteed Banana Apple Gluten Free Oatmeal which is bursting with flavor. It was a huge hit with the kids and grown ups in our house and the refined sugars that can often accompany oatmeals were not missed at all. Add to that simple preparation that takes 15 minutes, and we felt we have a winner in this recipe for busy mornings.
