Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 1 medium banana (sliced)
- 1/3 cup quick or rolled oats
- 2/3 cup water
Toppings
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter (melted 30 to 60 seconds in the microwave)
Instructions
- Mash Banana: Mash half of the banana with a fork until smooth to help incorporate natural sweetness and texture into the oatmeal.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the mashed banana, oats, and 2/3 cup water.
- Cook Oatmeal: Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats have thickened and softened, which typically takes 1 to 5 minutes depending on the type of oats used.
- Assemble Bowl: Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a serving bowl, then top with the remaining sliced banana, raspberries, blueberries, chopped almonds, and chia seeds.
- Add Peanut Butter: Drizzle the melted creamy peanut butter over the top for a rich, nutty flavor that ties the dish together.
Notes
- Use quick oats for a faster cook time, or rolled oats for a chewier texture.
- You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter if desired.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the thickness of the oatmeal by adding more or less water during cooking.
- This recipe is easily doubled for multiple servings.
