Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 medium banana, mashed
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Add the maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together.
Continue simmering the oatmeal for about 5–7 minutes until it begins to thicken and reaches a creamy consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds and the mashed banana, ensuring they are fully incorporated into the pudding-like mixture. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal pudding sit for 1–2 minutes to thicken further.
Divide the oatmeal pudding into serving bowls. Top with fresh berries, slivered almonds (or chopped nuts), and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy a nourishing start to your day!
