Delicious Banana Nut Oatmeal Recipe for Breakfast Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
1
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or milk (Use almond milk for a dairy-free option.)
  • 1 medium banana (Mashed or sliced.)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (Walnuts or pecans work well.)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (Adjust sweetness to taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Optional, for added flavor.)
  • a pinch salt (Enhances flavor.)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water or milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Oats

    Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are soft and creamy.

    For creamier oatmeal, cook a bit longer.
  3. Add Banana

    Stir in the mashed or sliced banana and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

    The banana will sweeten the oatmeal naturally.
  4. Mix in Nuts

    Add the chopped nuts, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

    Feel free to add more nuts for extra crunch.
  5. Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm. Top with additional banana slices or nuts if desired.

    Enjoy with a dollop of yogurt for extra richness.
