Banana Cream Quick Oats

We just returned from a hiking trip where we hiked in CO, UT, and NM. We shared some of our pictures via social media (Facebook and Instagram) but plan to do a series of posts from how we save money when traveling, what we eat when traveling, etc...so stay tuned!

We bought quick oats to make in order to fuel up before our hikes. There are so many different ways to make quick oats and we always seem to discover a new favorite while traveling!

Try these Banana Cream Quick Oats and let us know what you think - the coconut oil really makes this recipe!

Clean Eat Recipe: Banana Cream Quick Oats

Ingredients:

• 1/2 - 1 cup gluten free quick oats
• 1/2 - 1 banana

• sweetener of your choice (Stevia, Truvia, honey, etc.)
• dash of sea salt
• dash of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Prepare oats as listed on package (we usually use boiling water and a small amount of unsweetened almond milk)
2. Add all ingredients, except banana, and stir
3. Slice banana and add to the top - then stir into the oats
4. Enjoy!

How to Make the Perfect Omelet

I struggled with omelets for a long time. I would try to make an omelet and it would just turn into scrambled eggs because I would get so frustrated. I finally started experimenting and reading about cooking them (yes, I'm a dork!). I put together some of the information I found and so far it has been working! One of the most important things I've discovered is that you need to use a small pan! In case you haven't noticed, I'm a huge lover of eggs - I finally mastered the boiled eggs (by baking them!) and now I'm a pretty good omelet maker too!

How to Make the Perfect Omelet

Ingredients:

• Coconut Oil (to coat the pan to prevent sticking)
• Eggs (I normally use 1-2 whole eggs and 2-3 egg whites)

Directions:

1. Coat a small pan with coconut oil to prevent sticking
2. Heat pan on medium heat (6-8) and once warm add eggs
3. Once the eggs start to bubble add your choice of toppings (I normally use shredded spinach, onion, garlic, etc)
4. Once it appears that you can carefully fold the omelette do so with care (I use a fork and spatula)
5. Cook on one side for a few seconds and then flip to finish cooking
