Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Brulée Recipes

BRûLéED BANANA OATMEAL

Steps:

• COOK THE OATMEAL: Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add the oats and salt and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed and the oats are tender, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• PREPARE THE TOPPING: Divide the cooked oats between two bowls. Top with the sliced bananas. Sprinkle the brown sugar over both bowls in an even layer to coat the bananas and oats.
• BRULEE: Fire up your torch (see equipment notes) and sweep it across the surface of the oatmeal, moving it back and forth at a steady pace until all of the sugar has caramelized.

BANANA OATMEAL BREAKFAST BRULéE

Steps:

• Combine milk, rolled oats, salt and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a large saucepan and mix well.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Continue to cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
• Spoon 1 cup of the oatmeal into each of oven-proof bowls spreading evenly.
• Spread 1/4 cup of yogurt over each bowl.
• Arrange sliced banana over yogurt, then sprinkle each remaining brown sugar.
• Arrange the dishes on a baking sheet or in a large baking pan and place under a preheated broiler until the sugar starts to bubble and turn dark, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately. Alternately, you may use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar.

BANANA-OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• Cream brown sugar and 3/4 cup banana together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Beat in remaining banana. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Combine flour, protein powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves in another bowl; stir into banana mixture. Mix in rolled oats.
• Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets; leave room for spreading.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BANANA BRULéE

Steps:

• To make the bananas brulée, quarter the bananas lengthwise (peel on) and rub into sugar to coat thoroughly.
• Remove peel and place on cooling rack over several layers of foil. (Don't try this on your dining room table.).
• Don your safety goggles and fire up your torch. Hold the torch so that the very tip of the flame barely touches the banana, and move quickly back and forth until the sugar melts, turns brown, and bubbles. As soon as it looks like caramel, move on. You know you've got it down when a solid, glasslike sheet of gold (no graininess) has formed on the banana.
