Ingredients
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 0.5 medium apple
- 0.5 medium banana
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice half of a medium apple into small bite-sized pieces.
Slice half of a medium banana into thin rounds and set it aside for later use.
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey, if using, to add sweetness.
Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top it with the banana slices and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or almonds, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your apple banana oatmeal treat!
