Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 fresh banana (sliced)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) to sweeten the oatmeal.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced banana, fresh berries, chopped nuts, and chia seeds (if using).
Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet Morning Oatmeal!
