Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds optional
- Optional toppings: sliced banana chopped nuts, berries, almond butter, honey, or yogurt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a saucepan, add oats, water or milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Cook:
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir regularly for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
- Stir in Seeds (Optional):
- Add chia or flaxseeds in the last minute of cooking for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- Serve:
- Spoon into bowls. Add your favorite toppings like sliced banana, berries, almond butter, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats need longer cooking, while quick oats cook faster but may become mushy.
- For extra protein: Stir in 1 scoop of protein powder or 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt after cooking.
- Batch prep: Make a large batch and reheat with a splash of milk throughout the week.
- Make it creamier: Use half almond milk, half water or stir in a splash of coconut milk at the end.
- Spice it up: Add nutmeg, ginger, or pumpkin spice for seasonal variation.
- Low-sugar version: Skip toppings like honey and use chopped nuts, cinnamon, or cacao nibs instead.
- Make it overnight oats: Use the same ingredients and refrigerate overnight instead of cooking — perfect for busy mornings.
