Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Low-sodium almond milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Fresh blueberries (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, low-sodium almond milk, and water. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
While the oatmeal is cooking, peel and slice the ripe banana into thin slices, and set aside.
Once the oatmeal begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until fully combined.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with half of the sliced banana and a sprinkle of chia seeds.
Optionally, add fresh blueberries on top for added flavor and nutrition.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, low-sodium oatmeal breakfast.
