Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cup water
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 whole banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Stir in the rolled oats and reduce the heat to medium. Let the oats simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mash the banana in a small bowl until smooth, and then add it to the simmering oats. Stir until well incorporated.
Pour in the milk and stir to create a creamy texture. Let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Add the peanut butter, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using). Stir until the peanut butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat and divide it equally into two bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of chia seeds (if using), and an extra drizzle of maple syrup or nut butter if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'Oatmeal with a Twist'!
