Banana And Coconut Oatmeal Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Stir in the oats, bananas, raisins and coconut, one at a time using a wooden spoon. Drop by rounded spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 11 to 13 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Combine milk and oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave until oatmeal starts to bulge at the top and has a smooth, creamy consistency, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Mix in banana, coconut milk, and shredded coconut until well combined. Sweeten with sugar to taste.

Steps:

• Prepare oatmeal according to package directions on stove top or in microwave, using oats and water.
• Peel and slice banana in half. In a separate bowl, mash half banana with a fork and stir into the oatmeal along with coconut extract. Stir in sugar or sugar substitute if desired. Slice the other half of banana into slices.
• Top oatmeal with unsweetened coconut and banana slices, and chopped walnuts, if desired.
