Acai Vanilla Cake Oats
Wow I totally need to gush right now about this bowl of oats! I first cooked the oat bran with vanilla, almond extract and whipped banana. In another bowl I swirled in some vanilla Oiko's greek yogurt with acai powder until a rosey pink color appeared. Once the oats where all fluffy I mixed them with the acai yogurt mixture and folded in vanilla pomegranate cashews, cinnamon and topped it off with more banana slices and sprinkles.
(This was a pretty blush color off camera)
Holy yum! It was like having funfetti cake for breakfast! By far the vanilla yogurt is my favorite of all the flavors...it is rich, creamy and tastes like actual vanilla. My vanilla bean cravings were finally met! As for the acai powder, it was a whim that I threw it into the mix but I'm sure glad I did. It added a level of flavor that made the oats fruity without being overpowering. I must make this again.
Speaking of funfetti, last night I found an extra box of the cake mix from my old cake decorating classes. I think making funfetti woopie pies are in order....hmmm
After a bit of blog reading I finished the morning off with a cup of Organic Green Tea.
On top of all the packing, I'm having a moving sale today. Ahhh people are already showing up and I'm still blogging. Currently loading up on sugar, caffeine and unmentionable amounts of dairy. Lets not go there :) Have a great Saturday! What your current favorite oat creation?
I think the sprinkles tie it all together :) Very oats lately have to be the oh-so-popular Pumpkin & Maple, I just have gotten tired of them yet!
ReplyDeleteThe sprinkles remind me of the ones on those Mother's frosted animal cookies :-D Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was your birthday with the way those oats were looking! My current fave is apple rhubarb crumble. Something as simple as a little applesauce cooked in the oats with a chopped apple and some frozen rhubard with a few grahams sprinkled over the top.
ReplyDeleteEither that or banana bread (but i love banana anything!)
Almond extract + Banana...good idea.
ReplyDeleteBut I remember putting TOO much almond extract the last I made Chocolate-Almond Oatmeal...still a little sick from this xD
