Whip up this naturally sweet and creamy banana oatmeal in just 10 minutes for a perfect, cozy breakfast. It is a great alternative to complicated meal planning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 2 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon peanut butter for swirling
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, water or milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired creamy consistency. Stir often.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. If you want extra sweetness, stir in a small amount of maple syrup or honey now.
  6. Divide the banana oatmeal into bowls.
  7. If using, swirl in the peanut butter on top for an extra flavor boost. Serve immediately.
