Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 ripe banana
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk. Stir them together to ensure the oats are submerged in the milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired creamy consistency.
While the oats are cooking, peel the ripe banana and slice it into thin rounds.
When the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two serving bowls. Arrange half of the banana slices on top of each bowl.
If desired, sprinkle the oatmeal with chopped nuts to add a crunch. Serve immediately while warm.
