Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium, mashed Banana
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted nuts (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water. Stir and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats reach your desired consistency.
Mash the banana in a bowl and add it to the oats along with chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken.
Divide the oats into bowls, topping with fresh berries and, if desired, a sprinkle of unsalted nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium, creamy morning oats!
