No-Oatmeal...So Good!

I really wanted some comfort food for dinner, something warm, easy to make, something I could cuddle up to.  Perfect time to try the recipe I found for No-Oatmeal (pronouced notemeal).  Since I don't each grains anymore, I don't eat my old time favorite steel cut oatmeal, but this was just as good (although I might add more cinnamon next time!).  Here is the recipe...give it a try!

• 1 small handful of walnuts
• 1 small handful of pecans
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seed (I used whole flax seeds, couldn't find ground, still was good)
• 1/2 – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I think it could use more)
• 1 pinch of ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 banana, mashed
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (add more if you prefer it a little runny)
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds
• 1 handful of goji berries or fresh berries (I used frozen, its all I had)

 Directions:
Add walnuts, pecans, flax seed and spices to a food processor and pulse it down to a course grain, making sure to stop before it’s totally ground into a powder. Set aside.

Whisk together eggs and almond milk until the consistency thickens a little bit into a loose custard. Thoroughly blend together the mashed banana and almond butter and add it to the custard, mixing well.
Stir in the nut mixture.

Microwave or gently warm on the stove until the “no-atmeal” reaches your desired consistency; this should only take a few minutes. In both cases, stir the mixture frequently as it cooks. (I microwaved it for 30 seconds, stirred, 45 seconds, stirred, 45 seconds, stirred and added berries)

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds and berries on top. Add more almond milk if you want. Lick the bowl clean!

Here is a picture of my final product (I ate every last bit and was perfectly full and comforted!) I added a bit more coconut milk after it was done 'cooking'.
