Blogging Marathon #20
Theme: Low Fat/Low Cal Breakfasts
It’s Blogging Marathon time again!!!
Except for the addition of mango and the substitution of oat milk, this is very typical of the breakfast cereal I ate growing up. Foods of the Caribbean always have a lot of spices and breakfast porridge is no different. The spices in this oatmeal were included in oatmeal, cornmeal porridge, farina and even hot cocoa.
Many Americans put butter in oatmeal and the first time I saw this, I thought it was the most disgusting thing I had ever heard of. It was just not what I was used to and to this day when I see people do this, I find it nauseating. With the delicious spices in this Caribbean version of breakfast cereal, I hope you will be encouraged to lay off the butter to keep this a low fat breakfast!
Ingredients:
- 10 oz. package frozen mango, defrosted (fresh mango can also be substituted)
- 3 cups oat milk
- 1 2/3 cup oats
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise
- 1/4 cup sugar
- freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
Puree the mango in a food processor or blender with the oat milk.
In a saucepan, place the cinnamon and star anise. Add the pureed mango and milk. Bring to a boil.
Add oats and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 8 minutes, until oats have softened, stirring frequently.
Add sugar and stir to combine.
Serve, topped with freshly grated nutmeg.
…and for another healthy delicious oatmeal variation…Try this Apple-Cinnamon one!

Butter in oatmeal does sound different!Never tried it that way.I prepare oats porridge with buttermilk and Indian spices seasoning.Mango oatmeal and spices must taste very 'tropical' and delicious..
interesting variation to oats..and a healthy breakfast!!
I posted Chocolate oatmeal recipe this morning :). Growing up,oatmeal was not a popular recipe at home. It got included in my breakfast list only in the recent years. Spiced mango sounds good to me!Will try sometime.
Spiced Mango Oatmeal recipe is tasty and very attractive recipe. New variety Oats Upma recipe is easy to make and healthy for all.
