Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 large Banana
- 5 pieces Dates (pitted and chopped)
- 1 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk (or non-dairy alternative), and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
While the oats cook, slice the banana and chop the pitted dates and walnuts if not already prepared.
Once the oats begin to thicken (about 5-7 minutes), add the cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and half of the chopped dates. Stir well to combine.
Continue to cook the oats for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and divide it into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the sliced banana, the remaining chopped dates, and a generous sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you prefer additional sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy this wholesome breakfast!
