Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and unsweetened almond milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
While the oats are cooking, peel and mash the ripe banana in a separate bowl until smooth.
Once the oats have started to soften (about 5 minutes into cooking), stir in the mashed banana, raisins, salt, and cinnamon.
Continue cooking the oatmeal for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
If desired, divide the oatmeal between two bowls and sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and nutrition.
Serve the oatmeal warm and enjoy your naturally sweet, sugar-free breakfast!
