Directions
In a medium size pan, heat the oats, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana. Continue to stir until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens*. Add vanilla, flax seed meal, stevia, and pumpkin spice, and stir until incorporated.

Hi Sheila, I’m not eating gluten or dairy at the moment, so made this recipe with 1/2 cooked brown rice and 1/2c malt free soy milk. It came out kind of like a rice pudding – very nice, thanks!
