Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Oat bran
- 1 cups Water
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoons Chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts, optional)
- 1 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the oat bran, water, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
While the oat bran is cooking, peel the banana and mash it with a fork until smooth.
Once the oat bran begins to thicken (about 3-4 minutes), stir in the mashed banana and vanilla extract, if using. Mix well to combine.
Continue cooking for another minute, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the oat bran mixture to a bowl.
Top with chopped nuts for added crunch and sweetness, if desired. Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top for extra flavor, if preferred.
Serve warm and enjoy your nourishing Oat Bran Banana Breakfast!
