Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 small Banana
- 50 g Oats
- 10 g Dark chocolate chips
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 80 g Raspberries, frozen
- 1 tbsp Almond butter
Seasonings and other
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- a pinch Salt
Instructions
- Mash and Mix
Mash the banana with a fork, then add the oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Fry and Break Up
Warm a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if needed. Add the oat mixture and flatten it down with the back of a spatula. Let it cook for about a minute, or until the bottom starts to set, then break it into smaller pieces as it continues to fry.
- Serve and Enjoy
Spoon a layer of yogurt onto a serving plate, top it with the scrambled oats, then add the defrosted raspberries, almond butter, and dark chocolate chips. Enjoy while it’s warm.
Tips for the best scrambled oats
- Use a very ripe banana: it binds the oats and caramelises in the pan.
- Don't stir straight away. Let the mixture set for a minute before breaking it up, so you get crispy pieces rather than mush.
- A non-stick pan and a little oil or butter make the crispiest clusters.
- Thaw the raspberries while you cook so they're soft and juicy by the time you serve.
Variations
- Vegan: use soy or coconut yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Add a spoon of protein powder or ground flaxseed to the banana and oat mixture.
- Swap the almond butter for peanut butter, and the raspberries for blueberries or sliced strawberries.
- Make it nut-free with sunflower seed butter.
Storing
Best eaten warm and fresh. Leftover scrambled oats keep 2 days in the fridge; crisp them up again in a hot pan.
