Oatmeal Banana Split

[Guest guest]

This recipe is wonderful. I usually just make oatmeal however I

usually make it, then follow the directions for the rest. It does look

pretty, though, when you cook the oatmeal thick and use and ice cream

scoop to serve it. We often eat this for lunch or even for supper.

2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup oats, rolled (raw)

1 banana, ripe

1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen -- (or any other

Boil 2 cups water and salt together, then stir in oats. Cook until very

thick--thick enough to hold shape. Set aside. Split banana down the

middle lengthwise, and place in a dish end to end (to form an oval

shape). Place two ice cream scoops of cooked oatmeal in the middle of

the split bananas. Set aside and make strawberry sauce.

 

In a saucepan, cook fruit. Add honey and vanilla. In a small bowl, mix

a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut.
