no-oat oatmeal ... its no-atmeal!


this is a variation of the No-Oat Oatmeal by Doug Descant from the Primal Blueprint reader created cookbook ...

since my husband expressed he would like to try this for breakfast, i wanted something ready-to-go so he or i didnt have to prepare this in the morning before work. so i came up with something that could be blended and saved in jar to be scooped out during the week! its my version of the no-atmeal! plus, i finally got a good recipe down and finally wrote it down! horray for me!! haha

here it is! ... and yes, it looks and tastes like oatmeal ;)

this recipe has at least 5-10 servings depending on how much you eat per sitting - keeps me and my husband good monday-friday :)

In a Blender:

  • 4 bananas
  • 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
blend - making sure not to blend too much, keeping it a bit lumpy ... after several blends it gets too blended so you dont wanna over blend in the beginning

now add:

  • 1-2 heaping tablespoons of almond butter
  • 2 medjool dates
  • 8 tablespoons of coconut flakes

mix and chop a bit ... next add:

  • handful of macadamia nuts
  • handful of pecans
  • handful of walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger

chop and process a bit - dont over process as you want the nuts to be in small chunks to create the "lumpiness"... use a spoon to mix any stuff that sticks to the sides

  • add a handful of raisins

chop and process a bit  - its nice for the raisins to be in chunks so you dont need to chop that much if you dont want

pour into a jar to put in the frig to eat throughout the week! we got our jar from IKEA :)

enjoy!!
