Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 cup milk or water
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Equipment

  • Small pot
  • Stirring spoon
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pour your cup of liquid into a small pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, add the half cup of rolled oats and stir well.
  3. Add a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla extract if using, and reduce the heat to low.
  4. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and allow the oats to simmer until thick and creamy (about 5 minutes for rolled oats).
  5. Mash half of the banana into the oats during the last minute of cooking for added creaminess.
  6. Transfer the oats to your bowl and top with the remaining banana slices and fresh blueberries.
  7. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle with chia seeds or flaxseeds if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize this bowl with different fruits or nuts. Almond butter or peanut butter can be added for a rich flavor and extra protein. For meal prep, make the plain oatmeal ahead and top with fresh fruits in the morning to avoid browning. This dish can also be made overnight by mixing oats and milk in a jar, adding mashed banana, and refrigerating until the next morning.
