Servings 2 People
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 banana
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter crunchy or smooth
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup milk of your choice I used 2% milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp sliced nuts such as pistachios or almonds
Instructions
- Mash half of the banana and add it to a pan along with the oats, cinnamon, honey, and water. Mix well, then turn on the heat.
- Stir continuously until most of the liquid is absorbed. Then, add the milk and mix well. The mixture will be runny at first, but the oats will absorb the liquid within a minute.
- Once the oatmeal reaches a smooth consistency and is no longer too liquidy, turn off the heat.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl or plate. Slice the remaining half of the banana and place it on top.
- Add the peanut butter, nuts, and chia seeds.
- Drizzle with extra honey if desired. Enjoy while warm!
Notes
• Adjust the Liquid: If your oatmeal turns out too dry, add a bit more liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
• Boost the Flavors: If you like a bolder taste, feel free to add extra cinnamon and honey.
• Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with different fruits and toppings—mix in berries, sliced apples, or any other favorites to keep it interesting.
• Make-Ahead Convenience: You can prepare this oatmeal in advance and simply reheat it in the microwave. If it seems dry upon reheating, stir in a little milk to bring back the creamy texture.
