Healthy Banana Oatmeal Recipe Ready In 7 Minutes

Yield 1 Serving
Prep Time 2 minutes
Soaking Time 5 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes
This delicious banana oatmeal recipe turns an ordinary bowl of oatmeal into the perfect breakfast. Overripe bananas are a match for the nutty flavor of instant oats. Plus, when no one wants to eat bananas with brown spots, you won’t have to let them go to waste.

Ingredients 
 

  • 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup of oat milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 banana, peeled

Instructions 

  • Pour oat milk into a microwave-safe pitcher or mug and microwave for 30-60 seconds (until very hot). (Alternatively, heat the plant-based milk on the stove in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer.)
  • Prepare the banana: Cut half of the banana into slices and set aside for topping. Add the other half of the banana to your oatmeal bowl and mash it.
  • Add rolled oats, maple syrup, and salt to the bowl and pour steaming hot oat milk over the top.
  • Let sit until the oats have soaked up most of the liquid, which takes 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir oatmeal and add the sliced banana to the top, along with your favorite toppings.
