This being my fourth "oatmeal" you may think the recipe is being somewhat stretched. HOWEVER the family, who can't get enough of morning "oatmeals", have declared this banana cinnamon version the best of the lot so whaddyaknow, I decided to share. Only because I'm nice like that, because let's face it the small people get territorial about our recipes sometimes and don't always want everyone else to have as much fun as we do 😉

If you've been on the AIP for some time and often lament the passing of cereals from your life, then these "oatmeals" are surely the answer to your prayers. I keep using the "inverted commas" because, of course, there is not an oat in sight although I reckon you could fool any Scot if you stuck a bowl of this in front of them. I have no Scottish heritage but I do have fond memories of eating oatmeal (with no inverted commas) at home as a child, something my parents often still do and I well remember buying my father a spurtle one Christmas as a wee joke!

Be super duper organised and do as I do. Prepare a large squash the night before by cutting it in half across the width, scooping out the seeds and putting it cut side down in a roasting pan large enough to hold both halves. Pour a half inch worth of water into the pan and bake at 350F/180C for about 45 minutes to an hour. You want the flesh to be nice and soft, just a little beyond that spaghetti stage so if you go over the 45 minute mark, like I often do because I get distracted, I wouldn’t worry! Carefully remove the piping hot squash halves and put them, cut sides up, onto plates to cool before popping into the fridge overnight. Next morning, making this is the easiest thing ever and takes justminutes!

PS: When you make ‘oatmeals’ be sure to add somecollagenon serving (which mixes in beautifully by the way) for your joint health. It’s wondrous stuff and does your body a gazillion favours!

banana cinnamon "oatmeal"
Even though this recipe uses half a large squash, I still cook this size as the squash keeps well in a covered container in the fridge. That way you’ll have enough for another oatmeal breakfast, or a goodquantity you can use for something else.
(serves 4)

3 cups spaghetti squash (see above for how to cook)
1+1/4 cupsshredded coconut
2+1/2 cupscoconut milk
1 large ripe banana, mashed
1 tsp cinnamon
generous pinchsalt

To serve: (optional)
slices of banana
sprinkle cinnamon
spoonful softly whipped coconut cream

Put all the ingredients into a large pan, mix well and bring to the boil. Immediately turn down to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently until piping hot. Resist the temptation to add more coconut milk if your mix looks rather dry at the start, do thisright at the very end after blending, if needs be.

Use an immersion blender to break down the fibres of the squash, but leaving it fairly chunky. Serve with slices ofbanana and a pinch of cinnamon if you like. I also occasionallyadd a spoonful of softly whipped coconut cream, especially on a weekend when there's no need to rush!

    Could you make this ahead of time and just reheat? I'm going on a week long trip and will have limited if any kitchen access. So, I'm looking for quick and easy things I can make now and then just heat up at the hotel.

    Hi there. Any suggestions of what I could replace the spaghetti squash with? We don't get it here in South Africa.

    Reply

    • Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal {AIP, GAPS, SCD, Paleo, Low FODMAP} - Healing Family Eats (11)healingfamilyeats says

      Hi Rene, assuming you can get hold of different squashes my next choice would be acorn squash. What you are looking for is one with a blander flavour, as opposed to the stronger, richer ones such as butternut. The spaghetti squash's mild flavour allows the added flavours to take centre stage, plus it's texture is perfect. So bear this in mind when you're choosing a substitute ... or cook what you can get and enjoy it anyway, even though it will be a little different from the recipe here 🙂

          I'm sorry Amy, zucchini has such a high water content it wouldn't work for this recipe. Do you have access to a farmers' market at all? They should have loads of squashes, if you can't find the spaghetti variety then an acorn would be the next best thing.

            No, we live in Turkey. We only have zucchini and pumpkin. How about cauliflower?

          • Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal {AIP, GAPS, SCD, Paleo, Low FODMAP} - Healing Family Eats (15)healingfamilyeats says

            Pumpkin is the best option. It will not be he same texture but it should make a good, filling bowl. And if you want to make breakfast with the cauliflower, try these recipes 🙂

    Yum. I made this today and it was the perfect substitute for "oats porridge". It is the first time I ever cooked or even ate spaghetti squash. This recipe is great ! Next time I will try it with pear. This is certainly a recipe I will be repeating throughout winter. Thank you very much for sharing.

    Hi Kate,

    This sounds so delicious. For the first time ever I have found spaghetti squash in my local veg store. I'm super excited. Just a question though, with one of your previous recipes (http://autoimmune-paleo.com/warm-porridge-with-lemon-and-berries/) you have said you can freeze it, is the above Banana Oatmeal and similar other three also suitable for freezing?
    My husband is usually pretty good about trying new recipes, but being that it's only the two of us (expecting our first child in Feb 2016) I wondered if I could still make the full recipe but freeze portions so that I can continue to have variety, but not have to make every day. especially those days when its a super busy morning.
    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Sincerely,
    Imogen

      Hi Imogen, yes all of the oatmeals freeze like a dream. When you come to reheat, just let them down with a little coconut milk or water and you're good to heat them up and go.
      I'm so pleased you found some spaghetti squash (if it's that hard to come by, grab a few as they will keep for quite some time in a cool place) and I hope you love the recipe ... great nourishing food for you and your precious bundle on his/her way. Good luck! 🙂

    So I am doing AIP for fatigue :). This recipe sounds amazing!! However I just put it into my fitness pal and it says that it is 512 Calories per serving :(. Any idea on how to lighten it up?

    Reply

    • Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal {AIP, GAPS, SCD, Paleo, Low FODMAP} - Healing Family Eats (33)healingfamilyeats says

      Hi Jessica, the AIP isn't really about counting calories (unless you need to put on weight, that is), it's about nourishing your body to the max so your gut can heal. This protocol is a fairly low carbohydrate diet anyway and hopefully you've cut out the sugars, so I don't think you need to worry about the calorific content of the oatmeal. Having said that, if you still wanted to cut down then I would decrease the quantity of coconut milk and replace the amount with filtered water (although you will also be decreasing essential fat intake). You could also look into switching the banana for apple, there's a recipe here http://healingfamilyeats.com/apple-and-cranberry-oatmeal-aip/ . I hope that helps.

    Could I use a roasted banana in this recipe rather than just mashing a ripe one up? Roasting it really releases great sweetness and amplifies the flavor. I'm just curious because I wasn't sure if roasting bananas would make it non-compliant with AIP. 🙂

    This could seem like a super obvious question… But does this have a strong coconut flavor or much of a coconut flavor at all? I am trying to find some "comfort food" I can eat that does not have a strong coconut flavor.

      Hi Kara, the dominant flavour is banana so it shouldn't be an issue but if you dislike coconut that much, use more banana to taste. I hope it gives you comfort 🙂

    • Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal {AIP, GAPS, SCD, Paleo, Low FODMAP} - Healing Family Eats (56)healingfamilyeats says

      Hi Megan, sorry to hear you are struggling. You could make a coconut-free oatmeal with spaghetti squash, a little water and some fruit, mashed bananas will give a good texture if you can tolerate them. They are also sweet enough that you won't miss the coconut too much. Or you could add some dried fruit to the mix, such as dates or raisins, or a couple of teaspoons of maple syrup. Add the water last, just enough to get the consistency you like and I'm sure you'll get a comforting bowlful. Hope that helps.

    Hi Kate! I found out I have Hashi's a few months ago and have been slowly working towards AIP. This recipe has been a LIFE SAVER; breakfasts have been the hardest and most discouraging thing but this tastes yummy AND tastes like breakfast, I love it! Thank you!

    One issue I'm having though. The first batch I made was perfect, but every batch I've made since has been too runny. What would help to thicken it - less coconut milk maybe?

      Hi Lillian, glad it's hitting the spot for you. Don't worry, the recipe is very forgiving so when you make it up next time why not start off with a little less coconut milk and add the extra if you need it. Either that or just add some more shredded coconut at the end to thicken it.

    This could be maybe a meal for some of the mornings but not all as it doesn't seem very balanced. If you don't add the coconut cream there is not a lot of fat, and there isn't a lot of protein in it, so just some fibre and carbs, are we not supposed to get more protein for breakfast?
    Thank you

    Reply

    • Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal {AIP, GAPS, SCD, Paleo, Low FODMAP} - Healing Family Eats (77)healingfamilyeats says

      There is plenty of fat in the oatmeal - don't forget all that coconut milk. As for protein, I mentioned in the text above about adding some collagen for that reason. Ideally we would aim for a starter ratio of 40/30/30 (carbs/protein/fat) and then tweak it to what suits you, so you could eat a small patty of some kind if you want.

    Hello!

    Today I tried the banana cinnamon oatmeal. This is after being on a very strict regimen as a result of Hashimoto's, SIBO and Histamine Intolerance, and even having been on the Physician's Elemental diet. I am doing well now, so I thought I'd try some things which previously have not been allowed.

    I like so much about the recipe: It looks beautiful, it has great texture and substance. The only thing is I'm not used to eating anything that is so sweet! Although I do have a sweet tooth, the sweetness of the coconut was a bit overwhelming. Do yo have any suggestions for making it less sweet?

    Best wishes,
    Christine

      Hi Christine. How about using part coconut milk and part filtered water?

        Yes! I think that could work. Is there a ratio that you would suggest to start?

          How about starting with half and half. You could also use just a small banana to cut the sweetness down further.

            I will try it!

            You know, except for the sweetness, I felt so well after eating this oatmeal! I have lost way too much weight, and the substantial nature of the oatmeal provided fuel for hours, and energy without the dreaded brain fog.

            Thank you for the work you do! My quality of life has improved exponentially since finding your blog!

            It's amazing how our palate changes over time isn't it? I'm so happy to hear you like my site, thanks SO much for taking the time to share that. Here's wishing you lots more energy, healing and a few more pounds, all whilst eating delicious and nutritious food!
            Happy weekend 🙂

            Well I guess you were right that our palate changes over time! But in my case it was only over a period of four days! After having eaten all four portions of the banana cinnamon "oatmeal" it no longer tastes too sweet to me, and I can't get enough of it!! So I don't really need to try to change the recipe after all. Perhaps it was just in comparison to the very plain gluten free steel cut oatmeal with nothing but a little fresh fruit that I once ate.

            Now on to try all of your other great looking "oatmeals"!

            Thanks again!

    Hello Kate,

    After enjoying lovely whipped cream with my Banana Cinnamon oatmeal using Native Forest Simple Coconut Milk without guar gum, the last box I received from Amazon contained 1 less gram of fat per can. I find that it no longer sets up a cream, and no longer whips! So I ordered a box of the Natural Value which has a much higher fat content, and looked great in other respects. But it was grey and grainy and solid without any milk when I opened it, and whipping it made a thick grey grainy unappetizing cream.

    Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

    Best wishes,
    Christine

      Hi Christine, I use Aroy-D. I put the cans in the fridge to use for cream, and have the tetra packs which I keep for milk. I also recently got my hands on a tetra pack of Aroy-D cream, which I've yet to use but it's supposed to whip up really nicely! Hope that helps.

    This is so good and super easy to make. My 2 year old son can’t get enough of it. I added in a scoop of nut butter and it firms up nicely in the refrigerator. He will even eat it cold. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

    Hits the spot! This is my second winter enjoying your 'oatmeal'. I used to love regular oatmeal before I went true gluten free almost 2 years ago. Replacements like these for old favs plus new habits, like regular batch cooking, will help ensure I stay on track! Thank you.

    Hello Kate,
    I have been enjoying this wonderful oatmeal now almost every morning for months! I am wondering if you have any suggestions for a hot drink to pair with it. I love black tea, but the high histamines cause intense brain fog. And I love coffee, but it causes havoc in other ways. Camomile tea sometimes seems a bit weak for a morning cup. Any other suggestions?

      Hello Christine
      So glad you like the oatmeal. Have you tried dandelion root tea? I'm a big fan. It gives you the strength of black tea and coffee, but it's fantastic for the liver/gallbladder.
      And if you like the idea of a latte, try this recipe from autoimmunewellness.com

    So simple and so perfect, great to get veggies in for breaky as well. I used jap pumpkin instead of spaghetti squash (as I can't find that in Melbourne, Australia) and it tasted yum. I also used 1 banana per 2 seeves (halved the recipie), so more banana but the balance was great and so filling (I added 3T collagen as well). I topped with coconut yogurt and passionfruit.

    Hi Kate. I found you through your Whole30 Recipes Instagram takeover, and I’m so excited to explore your blog and also try this recipe! I don’t have an immersion blender. Would a regular blender do the job?

      Hi Lauren, it's good to have you here. Yes a regular blender will do the job, but pulse just a few times because you don't want to break the squash up too much. Enjoy!
