Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of oats
  • 1 cup of almond milk or your preferred nut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
  • 1/2 ripe banana chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Oatmeal:

  • Follow the instructions on your oatmeal packaging to cook the oats. Typically, bring almond milk to a gentle simmer in a saucepan, then stir in the oats. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until creamy (usually 5-7 minutes).

Mixins:

  • Drizzle a tablespoon of maple syrup over the cooked oats for natural sweetness.
  • Dollop a generous spoonful of creamy peanut butter onto the oatmeal for richness and protein.
  • Top your oatmeal with half of a chopped ripe banana for natural sweetness, texture, and added nutrients like potassium and fiber.

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers, you can store your oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of almond milk to maintain its creamy texture.
