This Plant based Healthy Pudding Oatmeal is the perfect breakfast recipe for everyone who loves vanilla pudding and oatmeal. It is made in only 10 minutes, very versatile and has al lot of healthy nutritional benefits. Its enriched with collagen powder, chia seed and turmeric. This is an very important aspect for me since I’m in my late thirties

Healthy Pudding Oatmeal: There is always a story to everything .

I always loved cooked oatmeal! My passion for oatmeal started when I was about twenty and I rented my first own tiny apartment. I think renting your first own apartment is a very important milestone for every young adult. Not only is it a sign for getting independent, no you’ll collect your first experiences what it is like to live without your parents. No cooked meals, nobody who does your dirty laundry and of course nobody who always complains how messy your room looks .

I always loved breakfasts which were warm and easy to make and since I was a total beginner in making my own breakfast I did what everyone did when they have no plan. They google. I found a fairly easy recipe for a cooked oatmeal and this was the beginning of my oatmeal career.

I can cook my morning oatmeals in about 100 different ways. In one of my reasoned experiments I wanted to create an oatmeal with a more creamy consistence with less oats, which means less carbs and more proteins. Perfect for a healthy lifestyle diet.

Healthy Pudding Oatmeal and how I achieved the creamy consistency .

Naturally there is milk. Cow milk and plant based milk of course, cream and yoghurt which in my opinion is not the most ideal add-in to a hot oatmeal.

I wanted to achieve a creamy more stocked consistency so that I could use less oats which in order meant less carbs. Therefore its has to be either corn starch or pudding powder which actually is a kind of starch only flavoured.

So the cooking games begun and 2 weeks later after countless healthy pudding oatmeal tries, a lot of dirty bowls and a chaotic messy kitchen I had my perfect consistency and a husband who refuses to eat one more bite of this delicious dish. He meant he had enough :-)))

Healthy Pudding Oatmeal and its healthy nutritional benefits!

Collagen

Collagen is essential to your health. It is the most abundant protein in the body and is available in your muscles, skin, blood, bones, cartilage and ligaments. The good news is that your body produces it on a regular basis, The bad new, it does slow down with age. Thats why I added it to my morning dish. Since it has a lot of benefits like: easing joint pain, promoting skin elasticity, helps building muscles and burn fat and it may reduce cellulite and may reverse skin aging. To stay plant based please make sure to use plant based collagen powder.

Turmeric

Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. It not only gives curry its unique yellow coloring its main ingredient is curcumin and therefore has powerful anti- inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds deliver a massive amount of nutrients. It has very few calories and are loaded with antioxidants, fibre, high quality protein and are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Cinnamon

I jus love cinnamon and have to add it to almost everything . But cinnamon is not only the most delicious spice in the world next to vanilla. It has a lot of benefits too. First it is high on antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, may reduce the risk of heart disease and it also helps lower blood sugar.

Oats

Oats is the main ingredient of my breakfast. It is also full of good nutrients like magnesium, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B. Whole oats are rich in Antioxidants, and fibre, can lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar.

I hope you will enjoy this delicious and healthy plant based breakfast recipe. It is my new go to recipe when ever I need something warm and delicious.

It can be easily made in the microwave but you can also cook everything on the stove.

Hello world! Thank you for visiting Antonia and me on our Blog. We hope you will enjoy our first post and all future posts we will share with you. If you like what we do, leave us some kind words in the comments .

Who wasn’t already on at least one diet? Ok, I see. Almost everyone, me included has been on a diet so far. You know in my 38 years I tried many different diets and some were really boring and sometimes extraordinary awful . So about 2 years ago I started to change my habits about food. I was fed up with being on a constant diet and I hated to always forgo dishes I really loved. I’m not on a diet any longer but instead on a journey on finding my own healthy lifestyle for me and my family and this healthy banana bread fits perfectly into it .

So this delicious healthy banana bread is one of my go to recipes when we need something sweet but don’t want to feel guilty with every bite we take.

I’m always searching for a good recipe which really tastes great and not bland. On my weekends you will most definitely find me in my kitchen trying to develop new recipes and yes sometimes my kitchen resembles a battlefield .

This healthy Banana Bread is ready for baking in only 10 minutes and its a one bowl thing. Yes, that’s my kind of recipe . Its the perfect sunday afternoon treat.

So let’s get started. First we need those reeealy ripe bananas, yes the almost dead ones, yes they are black too. But not all bananas just 3. We need the last one for decorating. Mash the 3 bananas with 2 tablespoons of hot water. This way its much easier. After that we put the mashed bananas and all the other ingredients, except the optional ones, into a bowl and give them a good mix. About 2-3 minutes. Instead of mixing them in your Kitchen Aid you could blend everything in a blender. If you think its a little bit to try just add some milk or water.

After everything is combined, there comes the glorious moment where we can add all the optional things to the batter like walnuts, chopped 85%dark chocolate, goji berries or chia seeds or whatever else you like. But keep in mind that it should still be healthy so please no white chocolate drops or m&ms .

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and and put some extra coconut sugar and cinnamon on top. Please don’t go overboard with the sugar just because its a natural sweetener. 1 tablespoon coconut sugar and one teaspoon cinnamon will do the job just fine <3

Put the pan into the preheated oven at 350F° or 170C° and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. During the baking we can prepare the honey cream cheese glaze. Mix together 1/3 cup cream cheese, 2 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt and set aside. When the loaf is ready let it cool at room temperature for about 50 minutes. After that transfer the banana bread onto a plate and drizzle it with the glaze.

Have I already told you that I love this recipe? Yes?!? Ok but did you know that this recipe is not only full with good fibres, no the added greek yoghurt enhances the bread with natural proteins too. That means if you are into sports with weights like maybe crossfit this would be good for you too.

Enjoy the banana bread and let me know how you liked it! Tag us with one of our recipes on social media @twosisterslivinglife and get a feature in our story as a thank you!
